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

22 A git repository with the latest development code is available at:
24 git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/at-spi2/att-spi2-atk
26 Code in this repository depends on at-spi2-core resources. The

34 The project was started with a D-Bus performance review
35 the results of which are available on the GNOME wiki. Keep in
36 mind that the D-Bus AT-SPI design documents on this page
37 have not been kept up to date.

51 Contents of this package
52 ------------------------
54 This package includes a gtk-module that bridges ATK to the new D-Bus based AT-SPI
55 as well as 'C' and Python client libraries.
57 These libraries depend on the at-spi2-core code that contains the daemon for
58 registering applications, D-Bus helper libraries and te AT-SPI D-Bus specifications.
63 The directories within this package are arranged as follows:
67 Contains 'C' types derived from the D-Bus
68 protocol specification. These types are used by
69 the ATK adaptor and 'Cspi'.
70 Structures are mainly related to events.
74 Contains a framework for registering objects
75 with a D-Bus connection and for routing messages to
76 the implementing object.
78 Used by the ATK adaptor.
82 Library to ease making D-Bus method calls, contains
83 marshalling code to convert function arguments
84 and a provided D-Bus signature into a D-Bus message.
90 This directory contains code that bridges
91 the at-spi to the GTK+ toolkit, and which is
92 loaded at runtime by GTK+-based Gnome applications.
93 The 'bridge' automatically registers GTK+-2.0
94 applications with the accessibility registry,
95 and relays UI events from application to registry.
96 It is also responsible for servicing requests from
97 the registry to register handlers for specific event
102 The client (AT) side interface - 'C' bindings.
106 The python client library for accessing D-Bus accessibility.
