1 What's new in at-spi-1.5.4:
3 * Registration failure at SPI_init is now detected and
4 an error code is returned to the caller (bug #147648).
6 * We now use polling as our default for detecting mouse
7 button changes (this was formerly our fallback method);
8 this prevents conflict with Xstroke.
9 [a better long-term fix requires the Xevie extension]
14 What's new in at-spi-1.5.3:
16 * New role EMBEDDED (bug #144415).
18 * Added object:bounds-changed event, for detecting when the
19 component bounds of an object have changed onscreen.
23 What's new in at-spi-1.5.2:
25 * Added Accessibility_LoginHelper interface, and
26 LoginHelper GType. Also added client and server tests
27 for this interface. The purpose is to identify services
28 (typically, assistive technologies) which need access to
29 system or device services (keyboard, audio, serial ports,
30 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
32 * fixed make distcheck.
34 * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting
35 refcount bugs in clients (Padraig O'Briain).

329 * added a new test harness, event-listener-test, which also
330 has a simple tree traversal timing benchmark. event-listener-test

364 * Made Accessibility_StateSet inherit from BonoboUnknown as it should;
365 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
373 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
376 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
378 need getBaseAttributes ()
379 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
