Orca v2.21.91 has been released



The coolest thing in this release is that Orca now has some fundamental support for contracted braille. There are still a couple rough edges, but we want to you take it for a test drive so we can polish this work for the next release. You can read more about this in the "Contracted Braille" section of the following URL: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Braille

Many thanks to the Mozilla Foundation for funding this work and Eitan Isaacson for the incredible work he did putting this in place.
