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 2.7.3

* [core] Atspi_accessible_get_index_in_parent no longer returns -1 if the
  object's parent is not cached (BGO#688057).

* [core/atk] Re-register applications and keystroke listeners if the registry
  goes away and then returns.

* [core] Fix atspi_device_listener_new_simple.

* [core] Fix some compiler warnings.

* [core] Build: use gobject-introspection's Makefile instead of rolling our own.

* [core] Fix a crash when parsing events without detail when there is a
  listener for the event that names a specific detail value.

* [core] Fix crash when removing hung processes.

* [core] Fix deregistering of applications.

* [core] A few documentation fixes.

* [atk] Stop using deprecated glib functions.

* [atk] Fix a few memory leaks.
