To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

Always keep the order:
- [value]
- [marks.top]
- [marks.bottom]
- trough
Which makes sense given the rendering order. Slider should be drawn
after the marks.
Makes it possible to simply remove the custom snapshot implementations
in scale and range. And Adwaita does not depend on the node order
anyway.
This makes meson actually parse the individual test
results. Most of the time, it does not make a difference,
but one case where it does is when all the individual
tests of a binary are skipped, meson will mark the
test as skipped.
This adds a GDK_DEBUG=default-settings flag which disables reads
from xsettings and Xft resources, and enables this for the testsuite.
This is one less way to get different testresults depending on the
environment. In particular, it was failing the css tests for me
due to getting the wrong font size because i have a different dpi.
The expander icon is renamed from "arrow" to "expander".
The expander widget itself is renamed from "expander" to
"expander-widget" (Better ideas welcome).
This makes it possible to have an "expander" icon in more places then
the GtkExpander widget (in particular in tree lists) and not
confuse it with arrows.
The `buttons` test for CSS nodes sets the second RadioButton as the
active one, whereas the first RadioButton is not set as active.
Nevertheless, the reference output says that the first radio button
should match the `:checked` selector, whereas the second radio button
should not.
The fact that the test currently passes is a mystery.
Add :dir(ltr) where expected, i.e. everywhere we now have a widget but
had a gadget before.
Also, fix the expected output to expect mark subnodes in the order
specified in the GtkScale does, i.e.
├── mark
├── [label]
╰── indicator
for marks at the top of the scale and
├── mark
├── indicator
╰── [label]
For marks at the bottom of the scale.
