Fixes and changes in the SuperNova 13.54 update are listed below.

Typing in edit areas now speaks characters and words in most situations. Cycle Character Echo with CAPS+SEMICOLON.
Flash. Dolphin Cursor and quick navigation keys move through accessible Flash controls. Keyboard users can now easily control video playback on sites such as YouTube.com. For example, press B to move to the next Button even if the button is inside a Flash player.
Performance improvement. SuperNova no longer becomes sluggish on some sites including the CNIB Library.

FIX: Keys to toggle Bold Italic and Underline now speak again as expected when applying styles to text in Microsoft Office applications.
NEW: Announce when removing cell borders in Excel spreadsheets.
NEW: To and CC fields announced when using the LEFT SHIFT+NUMPAD7 hotkey to speak email message headers in Outlook. Useful whether deciding to reply to all recipients.

FIX: Click and Read. Middle mouse button speaks accessible PDFs.
FIX: Document Read (NUMPAD PLUS). In SuperNova Reader Magnifier, when reading is interrupted, cursor is now correctly routed to the most recently spoken word. Equivalent to SuperNova Access Suite.
FIX: Dolphin Cursor fixes to prevent some lines becoming unexpectedly split and improved scrolling when reading PDFs with UP and DOWN arrow keys.

NEW: Dolphin has reduced the default punctuation level in SuperNova Reader Magnifier to "none" in response to customer feedback. This change prevents punctuation being announced unexpectedly in menus causing difficulties in some languages. To hear more punctuation, alter punctuation announcements from SuperNova Control Panel > Speech > Text Style Announcements.
