We're pleased to announce the release of FLTK 1.3.6.

Even though FLTK 1.3.6 does not fix all known bugs we decided to release FLTK 1.3.6 as it contains some bug fixes and adaptations to new compiler releases.

One very important enhancement is support of macOS up to macOS 11 "Big Sur" on both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1) processors.

This release does not contain new "ABI features". The ABI (Application Binary Interface) is 100% compatible with release 1.3.5.

The new release 1.3.6 (source and documentation) can be downloaded here: https://www.fltk.org/software.php

Changes in FLTK 1.3.6

This is the final release 1.3.6. There have been no changes since FLTK 1.3.6rc2.

Changes in FLTK 1.3.6rc2

FLTK 1.3.6rc2 fixes some minor issues in 1.3.6rc1, particularly macOS bundle generation. It addresses an issue that bundles can't be executed on macOS 11.3 Big Sur if built with configure/make after downloading the release tarball because of the macOS "quarantine" feature.

Details:

  Albrecht Schlosser:
    Rename file 'VERSION' to 'fltk_version.dat' (#191)
    Fix version number in doxygen docs
    Fix build with Cairo for CMake < 3.13
    CMake: fix old (pre 3.13) link_directories() usage
    Enhance CMake build configuration summary
    Refactor macOS bundle generation to avoid "quarantine"
    Fix a new compiler warning

Changes in FLTK 1.3.6rc1

FLTK 1.3.6 is a maintenance release with new macOS Big Sur support and some bug fixes. macOS Big Sur is supported on both Intel and the new Apple Silicon (M1) chips.

CMake support has been improved but is not yet "perfect". Documentation has been enhanced, bundled image libraries have been updated to current versions.
