Re: [g-a-devel] new states for meter element

[Piñeiro <apinheiro igalia com>]

Just today I have uploaded patches to this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684576

that do a refactoring of AtkValue. One of the main objectives is
including a text description for values, and include the support for ranges.

Any feedback is welcome

Best regards
