4 This version of at-spi is a major break from version 1.x.
5 It has been completely rewritten to use D-Bus rather than
6 ORBIT / CORBA for its transport protocol.

35 The project was started with a D-Bus performance review
36 the results of which are available on the GNOME wiki. Keep in
37 mind that the D-Bus AT-SPI design documents on this page

51 Contents of this package
52 ------------------------
54 This package includes libatk-bridge, a library that bridges ATK to the new
55 D-Bus based AT-SPI, as well as a corresponding module for gtk+ 2.x. Gtk+ 3.x
56 now links against libatk-bridge directly rather than requiring it to be loaded
59 These libraries depend on the at-spi2-core code that contains the daemon for
60 registering applications, D-Bus helper libraries and the AT-SPI D-Bus specifications.
65 In order to build at-spi2-atk you will need:
71 Additionally, you will need the development files for:
79 To build and install this package, you will typically need to run `meson` to
80 configure the build process, and Ninja to run the compilation and installation
83 # Configure the build and initialize the build directory
86 # Enter the build directory
98 To run the test suite, use `meson test` from the build directory.
103 The directories within this package are arranged as follows:
107 Contains a framework for registering objects
108 with a D-Bus connection and for routing messages to
109 the implementing object.
111 Used by the ATK adaptor.
115 This directory contains code that bridges
116 the at-spi to the GTK+ toolkit, and which is
117 loaded at runtime by GTK+-based Gnome applications.
118 The 'bridge' automatically registers GTK+-2.0
119 applications with the accessibility registry,
120 and relays UI events from application to registry.
121 It is also responsible for servicing requests from
122 the registry to register handlers for specific event
127 Contains tests for atspi.
