The new extension is an accessibility checker for ODT documents. This 
is a pure Java-based extension that uses a taskpanel for its UI. We 
plan to submit it to the LibreOffice core once we have received 
feedback and possibly made some changes. (I know that LibreOffice 
wants to decrease its dependence on Java, but we are not C++ developers...)

The extensions that are being updated are odt2daisy and odt2braille. 
They use mostly Java; some external libraries are in C/C++. They are 
both available on SourceForge. odt2daisy has also been added to the 
LibreOffice extensions site; odt2braille will also be added there.

Best regards,

Christophe
