It cannot be supported under Wayland. + +- Remove the legacy device event controller API. AtspiDevice should handle + things related to the keyboard and mouse. + +- Eliminate the registry daemon. The new device API no longer uses it for + key grabs (except for the existing legacy back end), and the mouse could + similarly be handled in-process. Aside from the device event controller, + the registry daemon currently keeps a list of applications and registerd + events, but querying applications could be done with a DBus signal that + applications could then respond to, and applications could similarly + query consumers for a list of events that they care about. + +- The DBus API for sending events should be reviewed. TODO: flesh this out. + +- The AtspiEventListener API is hard to use and also needs to be reworked. diff --git a/devel-docs/meson.build b/devel-docs/meson.build index b405df4f..4403fa49 100644 --- a/devel-docs/meson.build +++ b/devel-docs/meson.build @@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ interfaces_rst = custom_target( docs_sources = [ 'atk-deprecations.rst', + 'at-spi3.rst', 'conf.py', 'de-controller.rst', 'gitlab-ci.rst', diff --git a/devel-docs/roadmap.rst b/devel-docs/roadmap.rst index 3f194f14..ca0de7ad 100644 --- a/devel-docs/roadmap.rst +++ b/devel-docs/roadmap.rst @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ Accessibility infrastructure roadmap Note that this roadmap refers exclusively to **cleanups** and **paying technical debt**.
