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 2.17.90
===============

* Modified the cache API to specify an object's index and child count
  rather than its children. This eliminates the need for the application
  to enumerate its children, improving performance in some places with
  large lists (bgo#650090).

* [pyatspi] Fix text.getDefaultAttributeSet (bgo#752928).

We need help testing with Gnome accessibility technologies, improving
performance, and generally tying up loose ends.  The above-referenced page
contains a list of known issues that should be fixed.
