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 2.9.90

* Added atspi_text_get_string_at_offset. Atspi_text_get_text is now
   deprecated (BGO#705581, BGO#705713).

* Separated out X-specific code in preparation for supporting Wayland and
   to prevent trouble on OSX (BGO#701378, BGO#682199).
