Could we write down a roadmap of needed operations until FLTK 1.4
can be presented as a Release Candidate?

I believe that branch contains important new features (HiDPI support,
CMake-based building, Pango support for the X11 platform) that would
be useful for many FLTK users.

A roadmap would help to reach that goal.

    Usually this involves just going through all the bugs and listing the items that
    must be fixed for release, and lower the priority of items that can be delayed for
    subsequent maintenance releases.

    As Linus always said, "release early, and release often."
    Doesn't seem to be our motto, but maybe should, lol.

    Since this is a major release (1.4.0), we should put some priority on anything that
    affects ABI, esp. if it involves adding members to structures that can be used in
    later fixes. Sometimes thinking ahead like adding a char just for bit flags we know
    we'll need can be useful to prevent ABI breakage during the maintenance path.


One issue that clearly needs fixing is #93
It contains a proposal for a work-around, but another approach may also be considered.

    I might be wrong, but pango support could probably be moved to being a fix in
    a maintenance release, esp. if it's a tough one to solve.
