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 2.7.1

* [core] Update the cache in response to role change notifications (BGO#685469).

* [core] Don't output a warning when a p2p connection isn't available.

* [atk] Remove the schema; it was only used to specify the location of the
  atk-bridge library, which is now installed in the standard path.

* [atk] Fix compiler warnings (BGO#678045).

* [pyatspi] Export application class in the Accessibility namespace, for
  backwards compatibility.
