Pull request overview
Updates NVDA’s changelog and magnifier terminology as part of a “beta to master” merge, including a documentation re-attribution of a security advisory and user-facing wording changes from “full-screen mode” to “tracking mode” in the magnifier feature.
Changes:
- Repositions the “Security fixes” advisory entry in the changelog (and adds a developer deprecation note).
- Updates magnifier UI/action text to refer to “tracking mode” rather than “full-screen mode”.
- Adjusts magnifier debug logging to match the updated terminology.
