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 2.0.2
===============================

* [core] Fixed a seg fault in at-spi-bus-launcher when ending a session
  (BGO#648942).

* [core] Fixed a possible crash when an application is short-lived.

* [core] Fixed memory leaks in atspi_accessible_get_toolkit_(name|version).

* [core] AT-SPI will now call g_error if it is unable to find the accessibility
  bus.  This results in aborting but with a somewhat less cryptic error than
  before.

* [core/pyatspi] Various table fixes.

* [all] Collection fixes.

* [core] Rework atspi_accessible_set_cache_mask to make it usable.

* [core] Fix a crash that might happen if a method call times out.

* [core] Disable caching if atspi_event_main has not been called to run the main
  loop.

* [core] Fix atspi_accessible_get_toolkit_version.

* [all] Add atspi_accessible_get_atspi_version to fetch the version of the
  AT-SPI specification provided by an application.

* [atk] Fix for BGO#650286: Ensure valid UTF-8 from ATK

* [atk] Always emit children-changed, property-change, and state-changed events,
  in order to keep caches synchronized.

* [pyatspi] Fix traceback when calling document functions

a11y framework for Gnome. 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
