12 * Added locale 'rw' (Steve Murphy)
14 * Tweaked event-listener-test program.

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

78 What's new in at-spi-1.5.2:
80 * Added Accessibility_LoginHelper interface, and

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

428 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
431 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
433 need getBaseAttributes ()
434 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
