What's changed in AT-SPI2 1.91.3
===============================

This is a major refactor: at-spi2-core now includes an AT-side C binding
(libatspi), and pyatspi is now implemented on top of libatspi with most
functionality derived using GObject introspection.  This should be much moer
performant on the AT side.  Note that libatspi is not API-compatible with
CSPI.  Also, this is more of a development snapshot than a usable release.
All of the interfaces have code to implement them, but it is mostly untested
and not currently usable with Orca for instance.


What is AT-SPI2
===============

AT-SPI2 is a D-Bus based accessibility framework. It defines a D-Bus
protocol for providing and accessing application accessibility
information. The project includes a library for bridging the D-Bus
protocol to the ATK API, allowing Gtk based applications to be made
accessible. It also contains a client (AT) side library in Python.

How can I contribute to AT-SPI2?
================================

We are actively seeking contributors to help us make this the standard
a11y framework for Gnome. We need help testing with Gnome accessibility
technologies, improving performance, and generally tying up loose ends.
The above-referenced page contains a list of known issues that should be
fixed.
