What's new in at-spi-1.5.4: * Registration failure at SPI_init is now detected and an error code is returned to the caller (bug #147648). * We now use polling as our default for detecting mouse button changes (this was formerly our fallback method); this prevents conflict with Xstroke. [a better long-term fix requires the Xevie extension] ============ What's new in at-spi-1.5.3: * New role EMBEDDED (bug #144415). * Added object:bounds-changed event, for detecting when the component bounds of an object have changed onscreen. ============== What's new in at-spi-1.5.2: * Added Accessibility_LoginHelper interface, and LoginHelper GType. Also added client and server tests for this interface. The purpose is to identify services (typically, assistive technologies) which need access to system or device services (keyboard, audio, serial ports, posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication. * fixed make distcheck. * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting refcount bugs in clients (Padraig O'Briain). * New languages: Walloon (Pablo Saratxaga) Bulgarian (Alexander Shopov) What's new in at-spi-1.5.1: * Allow synthesis of keysyms that aren't in the current X keymap. * languages: Gujarati (Guntupalli Karunakar), Canadian English (Alexander Winston) * Added omitted declarations for already-existing methods AccessibleTable_addRowSelection(), AccessibleTable_addColumnSelection(), AccessibleTable_removeRowSelection(), AccessibleTable_removeColumnSelection(). * bug fixes: 136660, 120659 (partial), 132237, 134332. ========== What's new in at-spi-1.4.0: [GNOME 2.6.0 release] * build improvements from Laszlo Peter. * en_GB added to ALL_LINGUAS. ======= What's new in at-spi-1.3.16: [GNOME 2.6 RC1 release] * Fix for bug #134036, which could steal keystrokes from applications if at-spi registry failed. * Build fixes, added .pc.in files (from Laszlo Peter). ====== This is the gnome-2.6 beta release of at-spi. What's new in at-spi-1.3.15: * translations: Amanpreet Singh Alam (pa) Bojan Suzic (sr@ije) What's new in at-spi-1.3.14: * reduced debug output in normal usage. Don't PRIT_LEAKS unless DEBUG_OBJECTS is #defined. Reduces SEGVs when reporting on noncritical refcount issues. What's new in at-spi-1.3.13: * Build improvements: Requires automake-1.7, and calls GTK_DOC_CHECK. (Padraig O'Briain, Matthias Clasen, some from Tomas Kloczko) * bugfixes (bad g_free, and a null string issue that caused SEGV on Solaris when running sample programs). What's new in at-spi-1.3.11: * Fix for docs bug #129728 (Sebastien Bacher). * Fix for bug #129479, allows distinction between multiple DISPLAY instances of at-spi registry. * Fix for #124837, which could cause 'hang' interactions between desktop and clients such as gnopernicus. * Fixes for NUMLOCK mask behavior, bug #129103. * Greatly improved key synthesis for non-Latin characters. We can now synthesize any KeySym which is defined in the current X keymap. (bug #128824). Thanks to Marcus G Kuhn for the public-domain code borrowed here. * Fixes for: 128912. * new languages: fa (Roozber Pournader), ar (Arafat Medini). id (Ahmad Riza H Nst) What's new in at-spi-1.3.9: * New api: AccessibleApplication_getLocale (app, type), returns a POSIX locale string for a locale category, for instance Accessibility_LOCALE_TYPE_MESSAGES. * New SPI_ROLE_EDITBAR. * New Accessible_getLocalizedRoleName. * New AccessibleText_getDefaultAttributes. * fixes to AccessibleStreamableContent, including a 'seek' implementation for cspi. Thanks to Michael Meeks for some related bugfixes in StreamableContent. * now we emit key-released events to appropriate keylisteners. * new LINGUAS in configure.in: nn (Asmund Sjeveland), lt (Gediminas Paulauskas), no (Kjartan Masass), eu (Christian Rose). * bugfixes for: #120991, #120473, #118581, #127463, #116009, #114926, #125834, #111429, #121974. What's new in at-spi-1.3.7: This is the official GNOME 2.4.0 release of at-spi. * fixed event-name bug, "object:active-descendant" is now "object:active-descendant-changed". * fixes for 120220, 120725, some code cleanups. * Improved code that rejects spurious "window:activate/deactivate" pairs when X key grabs occur. [108664] * Documentation improvements for SpiAccessibleKeyListenerCB and related. * new languages: hi, fi, et, mn, nl, is, ja, ro, bn. What's new in at-spi-1.3.6: * Add XEvIE support for those systems which have XEvIE. * Correct values for MODIFIER_SHIFTLOCK and MODIFIER_ALT as part of fix for bug #118114. * Store event so that it can subsequently be referred to. Fixes bugs #116949 and #116624. * Add support for AccessibleAction on hyperlink object. * Defer focus: events to reduce number of window switch events reported. This a partial fix for bug #108664. * Eliminate warning messages reported when out-of-process applet starts. Fixes bug #115014. * Register out-of-process applet as application only while it has top level window displayed.

What's new in at-spi-1.1.6: * Fixes for #99799, #10530. * New methods in cspi: 'AccessibleEvent_ref' and 'AccessibleEvent_unref' to allow lifecycle management of AccessibleEvents outside of the emission handler.

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
