1.41. dogtail

An updated dogtail package that fixes two bugs is now available.

Dogtail is an automation framework that uses accessibility technologies to communicate with desktop applications. Dogtail exposes desktop elements in a hierarchical interface. The dogtail package includes the GUI tools Script Recorder (dogtail-recorder) and AT-SPI Browser (sniff). Script Recorder creates Python scripts based on user actions and AT-SPI Browser is a graphical browser of the desktop elements hierarchy exposed by Dogtail.

This updated dogtail package fixes the following bugs:

* the destroyAbout function was undefined in the previous Dogtail release. Consequently, the Close button in the AT-SPI Browser About window (Help > About) did not work. This function is now properly defined; the showAbout function calls this function when the Close button is clicked; and the About window closes. Note: the close box in the title bar of the About window worked in both the earlier and current release. (BZ#250219)

* previously, the shebang lines in Dogtail's python scripts pointed to "/usr/bin/env python" rather than explicitly referencing the system-installed Python. This broke these scripts in the case of a user installing an alternative version of Python. With this update, all Dogtail's python scripts point explicitly to the system version at /usr/bin/python. (BZ#521339)

All dogtail users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.
