NV Access

@vick21 @ppatel Lots of fixes - in Word, browse mode, elements list, windows 11. Improved performance in the start menu, support for Windows 11 Voice Access, options to report language & move to more heading levels. Support for NLS Zoomax eReader, new braille & espeak-NG languages, improved Monarch support.

And most importantly, OneCore now reads the version properly! (Please don't make us put out a point release 🤣)

Many new things! Earth shattering? Maybe not, but incremental improvements :)

@ppatel @vick21 Trying to answer "What is great about this new version" is always tricky - yes I can give you the highlights, and where one user will say.... "Meh, there's nothing there I'm interested in", another will pick out one feature as the greatest innovation in computing. Of course there are always other little fixes and improvements which don't make the highlights and will still be appreciated, just for making something slightly more efficient or read something a little better.

@vick21 @ppatel NVDA can already use the full display to show paragraphs of text, though only the CURRENT paragraph. We're still working on the ability to show additional paragraphs on blank lines if the current paragraph doesn't take up the full display.

In 2025.2 what we have added is that "It is now possible to route to any braille cell on the Humanware Monarch multiline braille device, using their point and click action". Here is the original issue with more detail: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/pull/…
