What's new in GOK 0.11.2 and 0.11.3 ?

(This is the first external release in the development
series of GOK targeting the gnome 2.8 release)

in 0.11.3:

* Important bugfix in focus tracking.

in 0.11.2:

Lots of new UI and features...

* Added 5-switch directed scanning access method.

* Fixed DOCK behavior when docking at top of screen (#140882).

* Warn user about likely side-effects when starting GOK in 
  corepointer mode (except for Direct
  Selection access method).

* Changed GOK's dialogs (About, startup message dialogs, etc.) to 
  prevent them from raising above GOK's main window when in DOCK mode.
  (#136160).

* Fixed the very broken KEYSTRING word completion input.

* Added a utility ('create_branching_keyboard') for creating
  branching compose keyboards for non-Latin locales and locales which
  normally require 'input methods' for text input.
 
* Allow user to chooise between prebuild compose keyboard from a
  custom .kbd file. a keyboard created from the XKB keyboard
  description on the X Server (default), an alphabetic keyboard, or a
  keyboard with alphabetic keys listed in order of frequency.  Better
  handling of key shift levels for non-alphabetic keys.

* Added a numberpad keyboard (136482) and put a branch key for it on
  the compose keyboard.

* Added a valuator keyboard, and support UI grab and manipulation of
  sliders and scrollbars (132757, 138751).

* Allow the user to change the sensitivity of the XInput valuators
  (132132).

* Allow the user to select Dock and Fill modes for GOK from the
  "Settings" dialog (118222).

* Allow the user to specify an additional search directory for GOK
  keyboards (109181, 140929)

* by default we put the additional keys on the "XKB" Compose keyboard
  on the leftmost column instead of on a new row, to conserve space.

* Use libglade instead of glade-generated source files.

* Require libbonobo-2 2.5.1

* Better support for tables, including the ability to select rows in
  GNOME tables via GOK.

* Build and packaging fixes.

* Fixes for bugs: 133545, 117568, 138683, 129450, 136065, 136732,
  139495, 140051, 141996, 136877, 141240, more.
