Re: [orca-list] Accerciser

[Brian Nitz <brian nitz oracle com>]

Hi Steve,

I rolled the accerciser 1.12.1 release last week.  In the future I'll 
make release announcements on the gnome accessibility list.

I've been using this version with CORBA ATSPI but I'm told others have 
used Dbus ATSPI2.  If technically possible (eejay would know), I'd like 
to allow accerciser to work with both until CORBA ATSPI is deprecated in 
most distros.  Were the changes you made to allow it to work with 
python2.7 backwards compatible with python2.6?
