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 2.9.5

* [core] Fix possible memory leak when D-Bus calls time out.

* [core] Fix a memory leak in atspi_accessible_get_role_name that was introduced
   earlier in the 2.9 cycle with the enum refactor.

* [core] A couple of functions not intended for introspection are now marked
   as skip.
* [atk] Fix another crash when we're initialized and shut down repeatedly.
