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.
