Hi, I know the accessibility folks are some of the most overworked and understaffed (despite their huge importance to the project), so I hope this doesn't come across as critical. But there's a problem with releases that needs to be straightened out. In short, it's nearly impossible to tell which versions of gail/atk/at-spi are meant for stable and unstable releases. There might be API or other freeze breaks, or it may just be that the versioning system is very confusing and stable tarball releases aren't being made.
at-spi-1.17.12 was released for gnome 2.16.1. at-spi-1.17.16 is the most recent version. at-spi doesn't follow GNOME version numbering, which is suboptimal. One would normally guess that 1.17.16 doesn't have any feature/ui/string/api changes or additions and thus is fine for the 2.16.3 release (given that only the micro version number has increased). However, at-spi-1.17.6 depends on atk>=1.13. (cf. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400440). Lack of following GNOME versioning makes life difficult here too. The ChangeLog indicates that atk-1.13.x includes new API over atk-1.12.x and thus is not suitable for inclusion in the 2.16.3. gail has similar problems. The ChangeLog indicates that 1.9.4 was specifically for gnome 2.17.4 (while 1.9.3 was specifically meant for gnome 2.16.1), but in this case I can't tell if there were any api/feature/ui/string changes or additions. Thanks for all your hard work, Elijah _______________________________________________ Gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
