Hi,

I would like to announce the availability of the Qt AT-SPI bridge 0.1.1.
Since I think this is a nice number and I don't know of any major bugs in 
there at the moment, I consider it released.

Dependencies: Qt 4.8

What is that thing? A bridge that lets Qt applications interface with the AT-
SPI accessibility framework that GNOME provides. For users that mostly means 
that the Orca screenreader should work nicely with Qt applications.

You need a distribution that uses AT-SPI 2 (check your packages, any recent 
distro should do, this is part of standard GNOME).

The source can be found here:
https://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi

The commit you should grab is: 6c9dc78619469da86686d2f121ad4e3727b5dcff, tagged 
v0.1.1.

Or download the tar.gz from gitorious:
https://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi/qt-at-spi/commits/v0.1
$ sha1sum qt-at-spi-qt-at-spi-v0.1.tar.gz 
11476066c21346a76d05a5e9a2b94866a168380d
(I hope this doesn't change as gitorious dynamically generates the package it 
seems)

At this point in time I would love to have packages for different distributions 
so that users can test easily.
The plugin does not get loaded unless an environment variable gets set, so 
there should be no risk of anyone blowing up their system.

In order to enable the plugin, export "QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1".

Cheers
Frederik

Please cc me if you have questions.
Feedback what works is appreciated. I know most KDE applications don't work 
"good enough" but now everyone can start testing and improving things :)
