Accessible-Coconut 22.04.3 Released, The new version 22.04.3, is based on the latest long-term supported variant of Ubuntu MATE

The Zendalona team, which develops free and open-source accessibility software for visually-impaired users, has release an updated version of Accessible-Coconut, an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with integrated accessibility features. 

Accessible-Coconut (AC) is a community driven GNU/Linux distribution which is completely accessible for persons with visual impairments. It is derived from Ubuntu MATE. The project's goal is to develop an eyes-free desktop environment. Some of the features of the distribution include screen reader, print reading, six-key input, accessible audio and video editing solutions, ebook speaker, screen magnification facilities, and accessible disk management solutions, among various others.

It is evident from the feedback received over the past few years that the Accessible-Coconut GNU/Linux operating system represents a significant advancement in enhancing the lives of individuals with visual impairments. Zendalona is pleased to announce the release of Accessible-Coconut 22.04.03, which integrates all the valuable feedback provided by our users. Such responses are expected to continue.

The new version comes with two interesting new games: Maths-Tutor and Snakes-and-Ladders.

Additional updates in the new version encompass system upgrades, enhanced support for Pidgin Telegram via libpurple-telegram-tdlib, updates to Coco-Patcher, fixes for eBook-speaker, and refreshed files within the User-Guide.

We are thrilled to announce that Zendalona has been accepted into Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2024! This presents a significant opportunity to empower students and drive forward open-source development, particularly in the realm of accessibility.
