1 What's new in at-spi-1.6.1:
3 * LoginHelper API docs improved.
5 * fixed bug which caused problems if an
6 app which loaded atk-bridge forks, and one fork exits.
9 * New language: Galician (gl), Jesus Bravo Alvarez.
11 * Ansi build fixes (Kjartan Maraas).
13 What's new in at-spi-1.6.0:
17 What's new in at-spi-1.5.4:
19 * Registration failure at SPI_init is now detected and
20 an error code is returned to the caller (bug #147648).
22 * We now use polling as our default for detecting mouse
23 button changes (this was formerly our fallback method);
24 this prevents conflict with Xstroke.
25 [a better long-term fix requires the Xevie extension]
27 * We now register on a per-DISPLAY, but not per-SCREEN, basis.
28 This fixes several issues, see bugs #149962, #136986, #144086.
30 * New languages in configure.in:
36 What's new in at-spi-1.5.3:
38 * New role EMBEDDED (bug #144415).
40 * Added object:bounds-changed event, for detecting when the
41 component bounds of an object have changed onscreen.
45 What's new in at-spi-1.5.2:
47 * Added Accessibility_LoginHelper interface, and
48 LoginHelper GType. Also added client and server tests
49 for this interface. The purpose is to identify services
50 (typically, assistive technologies) which need access to
51 system or device services (keyboard, audio, serial ports,
52 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
54 * fixed make distcheck.
56 * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting
57 refcount bugs in clients (Padraig O'Briain).

123 * Fix for bug #129479, allows distinction between

395 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
398 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
400 need getBaseAttributes ()
401 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
