What's new in this version:

New Features:
In the Windows Console Host used by Command Prompt, PowerShell, and the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 11 version 22H2 (Sun Valley 2) and later:
- Vastly improved performance and stability
- When pressing control+f to find text, the review cursor position is updated to follow the found term
- Reporting of typed text that does not appear on-screen (such as passwords) is disabled by default. It can be re-enabled in NVDA's advanced settings panel
- Text that has scrolled offscreen can be reviewed without scrolling the console window
- More detailed text formatting information is available. (microsoft/terminal PR 10336)
- A new Speech option has been added to read character descriptions after a delay
- A new Braille option has been added to determine if scrolling the display forward/back should interrupt speech

Changes:
- eSpeak NG has been updated to 1.52-dev commit 9de65fcb

Added languages:
- Belarusian
- Luxembourgish
- Totontepec Mixe
- When using UI Automation to access Microsoft Excel spreadsheet controls, NVDA is now able to report when a cell is merged
- Instead of reporting "has details" the purpose of details is included where possible, for example "has comment"
- The installation size of NVDA is now shown in Windows Programs and Feature section

Fixed:
- Adobe Acrobat / Reader 64 bit will no longer crash when reading a PDF document
- Note that the most up to date version of Adobe Acrobat / Reader is also required to avoid the crash
- Font size measurements are now translatable in NVDA
- Ignore Java Access Bridge events where no window handle can be found for Java applications. This will improve performance for some Java applications including IntelliJ IDEA
- Announcement of selected cells for LibreOffice Calc is more efficient and no longer results in a Calc freeze when many cells are selected
- When running under a different user, Microsoft Edge is no longer inaccessible
- When rate boost is off, eSpeak's rate does not drop anymore between rates 99% and 100%
- Fix bug which allowed 2 Input Gestures dialogs to open

Changes for Developers:
- Updated Comtypes to version 1.1.11
- In builds of Windows Console (conhost.exe) with an NVDA API level of 2 (FORMATTED) or greater, such as those included with Windows 11 version 22H2 (Sun Valley 2), UI Automation is now used by default
- This can be overridden by changing the "Windows Console support" setting in NVDA's advanced settings panel.
- To find your Windows Console's NVDA API level, set "Windows Console support" to "UIA when available", then check the NVDA+F1 log opened from a running Windows Console instance.
- The Chromium virtual buffer is now loaded even when the document object has the MSAA STATE_SYSTEM_BUSY exposed via IA2
- A config spec type featureFlag has been created for use with experimental features in NVDA. See devDocs/featureFlag.md for more information
