21 * bugfixes for #160862, #152147.
23 * minor enhancements to test login-helper-server-test.
27 What's new in at-spi-1.6.1:

43 What's new in at-spi-1.5.4:
45 * Registration failure at SPI_init is now detected and
46 an error code is returned to the caller (bug #147648).
48 * We now use polling as our default for detecting mouse
49 button changes (this was formerly our fallback method);
50 this prevents conflict with Xstroke.
51 [a better long-term fix requires the Xevie extension]
53 * We now register on a per-DISPLAY, but not per-SCREEN, basis.
54 This fixes several issues, see bugs #149962, #136986, #144086.

67 component bounds of an object have changed onscreen.
71 What's new in at-spi-1.5.2:
73 * Added Accessibility_LoginHelper interface, and
74 LoginHelper GType. Also added client and server tests
75 for this interface. The purpose is to identify services
76 (typically, assistive technologies) which need access to
77 system or device services (keyboard, audio, serial ports,
78 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
80 * fixed make distcheck.
82 * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting
83 refcount bugs in clients (Padraig O'Briain).

421 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
424 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
426 need getBaseAttributes ()
427 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
