Ok does anyoneknow if the #Braille Extender add-on for #NVDA is still being maintained? I checked the GitHub and cannot determine this, but the amount of open issues makes me wonder.

@dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind I don't know offhand, but it's probably worth an email to the author? (I haven't actually checked, but hopefully their contact details are in there somewhere - they are supposed to be)

@NVAccess @dhamlinmusic @main @mastoblind Supposedly there is an NVDA 2025.x compatible release but the author has not uploaded it to the NV Access add-on store.

@joslee @NVAccess @main @mastoblind I have never gotten it from the store, or even seen it listed there. I always go to its download page, and it updates itself so I'm on that version.

@dhamlinmusic @NVAccess @main @mastoblind There is a version of Braille Extender on the NV Access add-on store but won't show up unless you tell the store to include incompatible add-ons in the available add-ons list.
