FLTK 1.1.5rc2 Michael Sweet Jul 27, 2004  
 
The second release candidate for FLTK 1.1.5 is now available for
download and testing.  You now have until August 10th, 2004 to
report any problems with this release candidate using the
software trouble report form at the following URL:

    http://www.fltk.org/str.php

If no priority 4 or 5 STRs are received and confirmed before
this date, FLTK 1.1.5 will be released.

Note: Since problems reported on the FLTK newsgroups or mailing
lists are *not* automatically entered as STRs, it is imperative
that you report any problems using the STR form.

---- Draft FLTK 1.1.5 Release Announcement ----

The FLTK Team is proud to announce the release of FLTK 1.1.5,
a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX(r)/Linux(r) (X11),
Microsoft(r) Windows(r), and MacOS(r) X. FLTK provides
modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D
graphics via OpenGL(r) and its built-in GLUT emulation.

The FLTK 1.1.5 release is primarily a bug-fix release including
documentation updates, fixes for 64-bit platforms, FLUID,
several widgets, and GLUT emulation, and fixes for several
platform-specific issues. The new release also adds project
files for Visual C++.NET and supports KDE 3.x icons.

FLTK is provided under the GNU Library Public License with
exceptions that allow for static linking.

Changes since FLTK 1.1.4 include:

	- Documentation updates (STR #365, STR #399, STR #407,
	  STR #412, STR #414, STR #452, STR #462)
	- Fl_Text_Display did not handle drawing of overlapping
	  text (italic next to plain, etc.) properly (STR #381)
	- All of the core widgets now consistently set changed()
	  before calling the callback function for a change in
	  value; this allows programs to check the changed()
	  state in a callback to see why they are being called
	  (STR #475)
	- Fl_File_Chooser did not handle some cases for filename
	  completion (STR #376)
	- Fl_Help_View didn't properly compute the default
	  maximum width of the page properly, resulting in
	  non-wrapped text in table cells (STR #464)
	- Fl_Text_Editor no longer tries to emulate the Emacs
	  CTRL-A shortcut to move to the first column, since
	  there is a key for that and the widget does not
	  emulate any other Emacs keys (STR #421)
	- Fl_File_Chooser always disabled the OK button when the
	  user pressed DELETE or BACKSPACE (STR #397)
	- Added Fl_Browser::swap() methods (STR #459)

	  field if the box type was set to FL_THIN_UP_BOX (STR
	  #467)

	  outside the current view (STR #464)
	- fl_dir_chooser() did not show the previous selection
	  as documented (STR #443)
	- Fl_Text_Display used delete[] instead of free() in
	  some places (STR #466)
	- FLTK now includes copies of the PNG, JPEG, and ZLIB
	  libraries for platforms that do not have them (STR
	  #441)

	  (STR #442)
	- Added search symbol to the search field of
	  Fl_Help_Dialog (STR #417)
	- Added two new symbols, @search and @FLTK, which can be

	  FL_Menu and FL_Delete keys on external (PC) keyboards
	  (STR #445)
	- Fl_File_Icon::draw() did not support drawing of complex
	  polygons in icon descriptions (STR #474)

	  and ZLIB libraries (STR #416)

	  (STR #406)

	  (STR #394)
	- Fl_Scroll now uses a full redraw when the scheme is
	  set to plastic and the box type is a frame (STR #205)
	- Fl_Window::resize() did not work properly with KDE 3.2
	  (STR #356)
	- FLTK didn't delete font bitmaps when the last OpenGL
	  window was deleted, preventing future text from
	  displaying (STR #310)
	- FLUID didn't include a full initialization record for
	  the trailing NULL menu items (STR #375)
	- Fl_Browser::item_width() did not properly handle
	  format modifiers (STR #372)
	- Fl_Browser::item_height() did not handle columns
	  properly (STR #371)
	- Fl_Gl_Window's on WIN32 now prefer accelerated pixel
	  formats over generic formats (STR #382)

	  position when going forward/back in the link history
	  if the file changed (STR #218)

	  confusing some GLUT-based applications (STR #213)
