IAccessible2 is an accessibility API which complements Microsoft's earlier work on MSAA.

It is used for LibreOffice's Windows accessibility bridge in the winaccessibility module.

IAccessible2 is available from [ https://github.com/LinuxA11y/IAccessible2/ ].
tdf#135586 a11y: Make IAccessible2 an external and update it So far, there was an internal copy of the IAccessible2 IDL file added in 2013, and never updated since then (except for cosmetic changes like formatting and typo fixes), and therefore it e.g. doesn't have the `IA2_ROLE_BLOCK_QUOTE` role needed for tdf#135586. Drop the outdated internal copy and integrate an up to date upstream version (current git master) instead. Instead of duplicating things in an internal copy, switch to using the usual mechanism for externals. The IAccessible2 source contains separate .idl files for the different interfaces, while the previous interal copy was already the merged IDL file. Call the IAccessible2 `./concatidl.sh` script to generate the merged `ia2_api_all.idl` (s. external/IAccessible2/ExternalProject_IAccessible2.mk) and adapt the winaccessibility make files to use that version instead of the internal copy. (Add a dependency to the target that generates `ia2_api_all.idl`.) The tarball was generated from the master branch of the IAccessible2 git repo [1] as of commit 3d8c7f0b833453f761ded6b12d8be431507bfe0b (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD, mygithub/master) Author: Michael Weghorn <m.weghorn@posteo.de> Date: Fri Oct 13 04:16:03 2023 +0300 Update no longer working links (#26) * Update link to Linux Foundation Trademark Policy * Update link to Object Attributes specification Signed-off-by: Michael Weghorn <m.weghorn@posteo.de> using this command: $ git archive -o ../IAccessible2-1.3+git20231013.3d8c7f0.tar.gz --prefix=IAccessible2-1.3+git20231013.3d8c7f0/ master Andrea Gelmini's typo fixes have been upstreamed in [2].
