1 What's new in at-spi-1.5.2:
3 * Added Accessibility_LoginHelper interface, and
4 LoginHelper GType. Also added client and server tests

8 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
10 * fixed make distcheck.
12 * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting
13 refcount bugs in clients (Padraig O'Briain).

343 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
351 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
354 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
356 need getBaseAttributes ()
357 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
