There is not mailing list for ATK.

In fact, if you take a look to the name of the branches, it is not "atk-3-2" but "gnome-3-2". Those branches are a utility for GNOME as a whole. So on the branch gnome-3-2 of atk, you will find the atk that you should use on gnome 3.0.x. AFAIK, ATK is not the only module doing this. And it has been doing it for a long time, even before I became a maintainer, so I decided to keep doing the same for historic reasons. For example, gnome-2-22 branch last release was ATK 1.2.4. If you are interested on getting the different versions of ATK, you have git tags [2] I hope this answer your question BR [1] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel [2] https://wiki.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner/Releasing -- ---- Alejandro Piñeiro _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
