1 What's new in at-spi-1.6.2:
3 * fixes for problems at logout time (hangs, crashes)
5 * bugfixes for #160862, #152147.
7 * minor enhancements to test login-helper-server-test.
11 What's new in at-spi-1.6.1:
13 * LoginHelper API docs improved.
15 * fixed bug which caused problems if an
16 app which loaded atk-bridge forks, and one fork exits.
19 * New language: Galician (gl), Jesus Bravo Alvarez.
21 * Ansi build fixes (Kjartan Maraas).
23 What's new in at-spi-1.6.0:
27 What's new in at-spi-1.5.4:
29 * Registration failure at SPI_init is now detected and
30 an error code is returned to the caller (bug #147648).
32 * We now use polling as our default for detecting mouse
33 button changes (this was formerly our fallback method);
34 this prevents conflict with Xstroke.
35 [a better long-term fix requires the Xevie extension]
37 * We now register on a per-DISPLAY, but not per-SCREEN, basis.
38 This fixes several issues, see bugs #149962, #136986, #144086.

46 What's new in at-spi-1.5.3:
48 * New role EMBEDDED (bug #144415).
50 * Added object:bounds-changed event, for detecting when the
51 component bounds of an object have changed onscreen.
55 What's new in at-spi-1.5.2:
57 * Added Accessibility_LoginHelper interface, and
58 LoginHelper GType. Also added client and server tests
59 for this interface. The purpose is to identify services
60 (typically, assistive technologies) which need access to
61 system or device services (keyboard, audio, serial ports,
62 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
64 * fixed make distcheck.
66 * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting
67 refcount bugs in clients (Padraig O'Briain).

123 (Padraig O'Briain, Matthias Clasen, some from Tomas Kloczko)
125 * bugfixes (bad g_free, and a null string issue that caused SEGV on
126 Solaris when running sample programs).
129 What's new in at-spi-1.3.11:
131 * Fix for docs bug #129728 (Sebastien Bacher).
133 * Fix for bug #129479, allows distinction between

397 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
405 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
408 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
410 need getBaseAttributes ()
411 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
413 table: getVisibleRange
