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 C and a wrapper
for Python.


What's changed in AT-SPI 2.0.2
===============================

* [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.

* [core/pyatspi] Various table fixes.

* [all] Collection fixes.

* [core] Rework atspi_accessible_set_cache_mask to make it usable.

* [core] Fix a crash that might happen if a method call times out.

* [core] Disable caching if atspi_event_main has not been called to run the main
   loop.

* [core] Fix atspi_accessible_get_toolkit_version.

* [all] Add atspi_accessible_get_atspi_version to fetch the version of the
   AT-SPI specification provided by an application.

* [atk] Fix for BGO#650286: Ensure valid UTF-8 from ATK

* [atk] Always emit children-changed, property-change, and state-changed events,
   in order to keep caches synchronized.

* [pyatspi] Fix traceback when calling document functions

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.
