Article #366: What are the Versions of FLTK?

Created at 07:59 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.
