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]
11 * We now register on a per-DISPLAY, but not per-SCREEN, basis.
12 This fixes several issues, see bugs #149962, #136986, #144086.
14 * New languages in configure.in:
20 What's new in at-spi-1.5.3:
22 * New role EMBEDDED (bug #144415).
24 * Added object:bounds-changed event, for detecting when the
25 component bounds of an object have changed onscreen.
29 What's new in at-spi-1.5.2:
31 * Added Accessibility_LoginHelper interface, and
32 LoginHelper GType. Also added client and server tests
33 for this interface. The purpose is to identify services
34 (typically, assistive technologies) which need access to
35 system or device services (keyboard, audio, serial ports,
36 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
38 * fixed make distcheck.
40 * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting
41 refcount bugs in clients (Padraig O'Briain).

333 * IDL change which will affect direct CORBA users of the keystroke
335 * added a new test harness, event-listener-test, which also
336 has a simple tree traversal timing benchmark. event-listener-test

364 implementation. [76201]
366 * Added boolean return types to a number of IDL methods whose
367 corresponding cspi wrappers and ATK methods already had boolean
370 * Made Accessibility_StateSet inherit from BonoboUnknown as it should;
371 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
379 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
382 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
384 need getBaseAttributes ()
385 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
387 table: getVisibleRange
389 state: HEADER, etc. for spreadsheet cells
