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.

23 A git repository with the latest development code is available at:
25 git://git.gnome.org/at-spi2-atk
27 Code in this repository depends on at-spi2-core resources. The
28 at-spi2-core repository can be found at:
30 git://git.gnome.org/at-spi2-core
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
38 have not been kept up to date.

52 Contents of this package
53 ------------------------
55 This package includes libatk-bridge, a library that bridges ATK to the new
56 D-Bus based AT-SPI, as well as a corresponding module for gtk+ 2.x. Gtk+ 3.x
57 now links against libatk-bridge directly rather than requiring it to be loaded
60 These libraries depend on the at-spi2-core code that contains the daemon for
61 registering applications, D-Bus helper libraries and the AT-SPI D-Bus specifications.
66 To run tests execute autogen.sh with '--with-tests=yes' parameter then
67 after 'make', type 'make check'.
68 Test result is available in tests/atk-test.log
73 The directories within this package are arranged as follows:
77 Contains a framework for registering objects
78 with a D-Bus connection and for routing messages to
79 the implementing object.
81 Used by the ATK adaptor.
85 This directory contains code that bridges
86 the at-spi to the GTK+ toolkit, and which is
87 loaded at runtime by GTK+-based Gnome applications.
88 The 'bridge' automatically registers GTK+-2.0
89 applications with the accessibility registry,
90 and relays UI events from application to registry.
91 It is also responsible for servicing requests from
92 the registry to register handlers for specific event
97 Contains tests for atspi.
