9 * fixes for problems at logout time (hangs, crashes)
11 * bugfixes for #160862, #152147.
13 * minor enhancements to test login-helper-server-test.
17 What's new in at-spi-1.6.1:

21 * fixed bug which caused problems if an
22 app which loaded atk-bridge forks, and one fork exits.
25 * New language: Galician (gl), Jesus Bravo Alvarez.

29 What's new in at-spi-1.6.0:
33 What's new in at-spi-1.5.4:
35 * Registration failure at SPI_init is now detected and
36 an error code is returned to the caller (bug #147648).
38 * We now use polling as our default for detecting mouse
39 button changes (this was formerly our fallback method);
40 this prevents conflict with Xstroke.
41 [a better long-term fix requires the Xevie extension]
43 * We now register on a per-DISPLAY, but not per-SCREEN, basis.
44 This fixes several issues, see bugs #149962, #136986, #144086.

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

131 * bugfixes (bad g_free, and a null string issue that caused SEGV on
132 Solaris when running sample programs).
135 What's new in at-spi-1.3.11:

139 * Fix for bug #129479, allows distinction between

403 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
411 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
414 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
416 need getBaseAttributes ()
417 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
419 table: getVisibleRange
