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 2.7.2

* [core] Only call an event listener once per event, even if the listener
   registered for both the event and a superset of the event.

* [core] Don't distribute dbind-config.h (BGO#688083).

* [core] Fix gtk-doc for Atspi-Registry (BGO#688224).
