Re: [g-a-devel] Announce: AT-SPI2 0.1.2 released.

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Halim:

GNOME 2.29.x is going to be unstable for some time as we go through the 
migration to D-Bus.  For now, assume you should only use it for testing 
and not day-to-day work.

I believe the impact of the "check using PID to check that the 
application using pyatspi does not call itself" modification is that it 
will help prevent hangs caused by reentrancy issues.  So, Orca should 
*still* run and provide access to the applications on the desktop, but 
its main window, preferences, quit, etc., GUIs will be silent when you 
try to access them.

Note also that 0.1.2 means this is still early code that is early in 
the GNOME 2.29.x development cycle.  Stability and reliability are 
neither guaranteed nor expected at this point.  But, we still have a 
goal of achieving both for GNOME 2.30.0.
