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.


What's changed in AT-SPI2 2.0.1
===============================

* [core] Fixed a seg fault in at-spi-bus-launcher when ending a session
   (BGO#648942).

* [core] Fixed a possible crash when an application is short-lived.

* [core] Fixed memory leaks in atspi_accessible_get_toolkit_(name|version).

* [core] AT-SPI will now call g_error if it is unable to find the
   accessibility bus.  This results in aborting but with a somewhat less
   cryptic error than before.

* [pyatspi] Fix traceback when calling document functions

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.
