Description André Klapper 2017-08-16 16:15:57 UTC 
https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.2/ and https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-3-x-to-y.html state that "GNOME's Accessibility Implementation Library Gail has been completely merged into GTK+".

Yet https://developer.gnome.org/accessibility-devel-guide/stable/ in https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-devel-docs/tree/accessibility-devel-guide/C/gad.xml mentions it a lot of times as a separate module.

I have no clue where exactly this is now located in GTK, maybe that is https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAccessible.html ?

(Furthermore, https://developer.gnome.org/gail-libgail-util/stable/ should redirect or something, probably worth a separate ticket.)

<ebassi-matrix> andre: Yes, Gail was the out of tree GTK2 module. It was moved in tree and exposed as public API in GTK3
<andre> ebassi-matrix, thanks. So this would be called GtkAccessible nowadays? <ebassi-matrix> andre: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkAccessible.html
