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 2.2.3

* [core] Add some dbus message signature checks.

* [core] Fix a crash if a device listener incorrectly returns a non-bool.

* [core/atk] Fix for BGO#666870: Keystroke listeners do not work unless an
   event listener is also registered [both modules need to be updated]

* [core] Fix for BGO#667254: Some atspi-selection_* functions were broken.

* [core] When a call times out, ping the connection and avoid making subsequent
   calls until the ping is answered.

* Fix for BGO#666871: deregisterKeystrokeListener was broken.


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

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.
