Gtk and python modules will be re-located to non-standard directories on install so as not to conflict with the AT-SPI CORBA modules. To disable this re-location configure with the '--disable-relocate' option. What's changed in AT-SPI2 0.1.8 =============================== pyatspi: * Set desktop role to "UNKNOWN" for compatibility with CORBA at-spi. * Support reading an application's id (also useful for Strongwind) core: * The registry daemon will now abort if at-spi2 is not relocated and CORBA is in use. Atk: * Work-around for a hang with threaded gtk applications (such as gnome-do). * Avoid aborting the application on some errors. * Fix a warning when a relation set is null. * Expose Application interface so that queryApplication() will work in pyatspi (needed for Strongwind) 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 Python. Where can I get more information about AT-SPI2 ============================================== The project wiki is available at: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Accessibility/ATK/AT-SPI/AT-SPI_on_D-Bus A page detailing the project plan can be found at: http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/BonoboDeprecation How can I contribute to AT-SPI2? ================================ We are actively seeking contributors to help us make this the standard a11y framework for Gnome. We need help testing with Gnome accessibility technologies, and are especially looking for someone to create client bindings in 'C' that meet the cspi API.
