Article #366: What are the Versions of FLTK?

Created at 10:59 Jan 29, 2005 by mike

There are three main branches of FLTK:

FLTK 1.0.x retains binary compatability with
        the most common versions of FLTK that have been
        distributed. Except for bug fixes, no development work
        is being done on this branch.

FLTK 1.1.x contains many of the enhancements
        (image labels, tooltips, file chooser, editor, default
        appearance) that were made for FLTK 2.0, but retains
        source-code (but not binary) compatability with FLTK
        1.0. This is the current supported version of FLTK.

FLTK 2.0 is a major rewrite to support
        theming (changing the attributes of many widgets at
        once), new menu and browser structures, and a new
        multi-device drawing model. All new development work is
        being done here. Currently you can only get 2.0 through
        CVS. We believe it is stable enough for production work,
        but binary compatability between any snapshot of the 2.0
        CVS is not guaranteed right now, so you should
        statically link your applications.
