@moashy_mango Are you aware of a situation where that isn't enough for an organisation? If an organisation is still on Windows 7, we provide the latest stable version for each version of Windows there on the download page. I haven't seen any complaints that isn't enough for anyone?

The NVDA 2026.3 Release Candidate is now available for testing! This is the LAST step before the final, stable release, and we encourage ALL users to download and test this and provide feedback. See the release notes & download at: https://t.co/HdKpwrKSGr

@moashy_mango 2/2 That gets you partway there. The only thing we won't do is patch old versions of NVDA. If you report an issue & we fix it, that will be only in the NEXT version of NVDA & newer. Though not so much an issue as other systems don't integrate & rely on specific versions of NVDA.

@moashy_mango 2/2 Add-on signing, we are working on more security and other things for add-ons (which would also alleviate the yearly breaking of add-ons), but no update on that yet. Feel free to create an issue for that to ensure it is covered: https://t.co/Zvceb8krhv

@moashy_mango It looks like there are a few browser plugins which will give you a sound as web pages load, so they're probably the best option in the first instance. I see you asked this before and I did create an issue though: https://t.co/bdh1DFvvgt so that's worth following 1/2
