What's new in at-spi-1.0.1: * bugfix for 82509 What's new in at-spi-1.0.0: * API Freeze (1.0 API is now FINAL) * added boolean return for Accessibility_Registry_registerKeystrokeListener. * Revved activation ID for registry to "1.0" * many bugfixes and improvements to global key listener implementation. * improvements to regression test "test-simple", added key listener/synthesis test. * added sample code in "test" to demonstrate how flat line-mode screen-review can be implemented with at-spi. What's new in at-spi-0.13.1: (note: 0.13.1 is not binary compatible with 0.12.1, clients will need to recompile ) * fix for bugzilla bug 80616 * IDL change which will affect direct CORBA users of the keystroke listener API * added a new test harness, event-listener-test, which also has a simple tree traversal timing benchmark. event-listener-test attaches listeners to all currently supported events (and a few events which are not fully implemented yet); it thus serves as useful event listener sample code as well as being a diagnostic tool. What's new in at-spi-0.12.1: * fixes for bugzilla bugs 78249,68929,76615,71686,72300,78247,72300,78249 relating to build issues on some architectures (some of these were fixed in 0.10 but additional fixes were included in 0.12.1). * added new test program for our key listener API. * added implementation of IDL 'exit' method to our magnifier and mag_control client. * Badly broken AccessibleStateSet implementation fixed by Marc. * Added implementation for AccessibleComponent_grabFocus method. * Improvements to documentation. API CHANGES: * Added missing seek_type param in AccessibleStreamableContent_seek [78888], previously documented but not in signature; this was unused API but needed fixing for the future. * Added API for AccessibleTable_selectRow and _selectColumn, corresponding to similar API in ATK, and provided implementation. [76201] * Added boolean return types to a number of IDL methods whose corresponding cspi wrappers and ATK methods already had boolean returns. * Made Accessibility_StateSet inherit from BonoboUnknown as it should; this was the main existing breakage in StateSet. ================= TODO API Additions: getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already in ATK). AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName (). need getBaseAttributes () for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think). table: getVisibleRange state: HEADER, etc. for spreadsheet cells
