1 What's new in at-spi-1.7.0:
11 What's new in at-spi-1.6.5:

20 * Fixed XEVIE detection and configuration on XOrg version 6.8.2.
22 * Added locale 'rw' (Steve Murphy)
24 * Tweaked event-listener-test program.

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

94 system or device services (keyboard, audio, serial ports,
95 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
97 * fixed make distcheck.
99 * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting
100 refcount bugs in clients (Padraig O'Briain).

438 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
441 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
