Since there is no rigorous standard for
what it takes to justify a new release, I would encourage the
FLTK developers to pursue smaller and more frequent releases.
They don't have to be a huge deal if we don't make them a huge
deal.
In that spirit, I would encourage the team to consider
moving to time-based releases -- say once per year, or perhaps
every six months.
The hope would be that smaller incremental releases would
be less burdensome come release time while enabling users and
package managers to better stay up to date with what the
developers are developing and using.

Such a time-based release is something I've been considering too. I
believe that we could switch to such a scheme once FLTK 1.4.0 has
been released.
And -- without any guarantees -- my *hope* is that we can
release 1.4.0 at the beginning of 2022.
