On MacOS platform, Java Accessibility Framework used native NSAccessibility APIs [1] for communicating with native applications
and operating system components. Apple deprecated NSAccessibility APIs. In this release, Java Accessibility Framework’s native connection layer has been reimplemented with new NSAccessibilityProtocol APIs [2]. This change does not add any new APIs. From the end-user perspective the behaviour of a11y feature will not change.
