ATK 2.14.0 released

Recommended Posts

A new major version of the stable version of ATK has just been released.

 

 

Note: Although in the past ATK maintainers send announcements to

gnome-announce and gnome-accessibility for each release of ATK, from now

on only announcements for new major version of the stable release will

be sent. That announcement would summarize the changes compared with the

previous major version of the stable release.

 

 

About ATK

=========

 

GNOME provides support for accessibility devices using the ATK

framework. This framework defines a set of interfaces to which

graphical interface components adhere. This allows, for instance,

screen readers to read the text of an interface and interact with its

controls. ATK support is built into GTK+ and the rest of the GNOME

platform, so any application using GTK+ will have reasonable

accessibility support for free.

 

Nonetheless, you should be aware of accessibility issues when when

developing your applications. Although GTK+ interfaces provide

reasonable accessibility by default, you can often improve how well

your program behaves with accessibility tools by providing additional

information to ATK. If you develop custom widgets, you should ensure

that they expose their properties to ATK.
