---- Draft FLTK 1.1.4 Release Announcement ----
The FLTK Team is proud to announce the release of FLTK 1.1.4,
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 1.1.4 release is primarily a bug-fix release including
fixes to FLUID and the Fl_File_Chooser, Fl_Help_View,
Fl_Text_Display, and Fl_Text_Editor widgets. The new release
also adds a find method to Fl_Help_View.
FLTK is provided under the GNU Library Public License with
exceptions that allow for static linking.
Changes since FLTK 1.1.3 include:
- The fl_read_image() function was not implemented on
OSX (STR #161)
- VC++ 7.1 didn't like how the copy operators were
disabled for the Fl_Widget class; now include inline
code which will never be used but makes VC++ happy
(STR #156)
- Fixed an IRIX compile problem caused by a missing
#include (STR #157)
- FLUID didn't write color/selection_color() calls using
the symbolic names when possible, nor did it cast
integer colors to Fl_Color (STR #146)
- Fl_File_Chooser was very close for multiple file
selection in large directories (STR #140)
- Fl_Text_Display/Editor did not disable the current
selection when focus was shifted to another widget
(STR #131)
- Fl_Choice didn't use the normal focus box when the
plastic scheme was in use (STR #129)
- Fl_Text_Editor didn't use selection_color()
consistently (STR #130)
- The fltk_forms, fltk_gl, and fltk_images DSO's and
HP-UX shared libraries are now linked against the fltk
shared library to provide complete dependency
resolution (STR #118)
- The configure.in file did not work with autoconf 2.57.
- FLUID didn't redraw widgets when changing the X, Y, W,
or H values in the widget panel (STR #120)
- Fl_Window::show(argc, argv) wasn't calling
Fl::get_system_colors() as documented (STR #119)
- DSO (shared library) building wasn't quite right for
some platforms (STR #118)
- OSX: some changes to make ProjectBuilder compiles
possible.
- OSX: FLTK would not know where a window was positioned
by the OS. As a result, popup menus could open at
wrong positions.
- Fl_Window::show(argc,argv) incorrectly opened the
display prior to parsing the arguments; this prevented
the "-display foo" option from working (STR #111)
- Images were not clipped properly on MacOS X (STR #114)
- Fl::reload_scheme() and Fl::scheme("foo") incorrectly
called Fl::get_system_colors(). This prevented an
application from setting its own color preferences
(STR #115)
- The 'Enter' key event on OS X would not set Fl::e_text
(STR #???)
- Changed behaviour of fluid to always paste into
a selected group (STR #88)
- Menuitem now changes font, even if fontsize
is not set (STR #110)
- Swapped shortcut labels in OS X (STR #86)
- Non-square Fl_Dial would calculate angle from user
input wrong (STR #101)
- Updated documentatiopn of fl_draw (STR #94)
and Fl_Menu_::add() (STR #99)
- Fluid collapse triangle events were not offset by
horizontal scroll (STR #106)
- QuitAppleEvent now correctly returns from Fl::run()
instead of just exiting (STR #87)
- Hiding the first created OpenGL context was not
possible. FLTK now manages a list of contexts (STR #77)
- FLUID didn't keep the double/single buffer type for
windows.
- FLTK didn't work with Xft2.
- OSX window resizing didn't work (STR #64)
- Fixed MacOS X shared library generation (STR #51)
- Several widgets defined their own size() method but
didn't provide an inline method that mapped to the
Fl_Widget::size() method (STR #62)
- Fl_Scroll didn't provide its own clear() method, so
calling clear() on a Fl_Scroll widget would also
destroy the scrollbars (STR #75)
- Fl::event_text() was sometimes initialized to NULL
instead of an empty string (STR #70)
- fl_draw() didn't properly handle a trailing escaped
"@" character (STR #84)
- Added documentation for all forms of
Fl_Widget::damage() (STR #61)
- Fl_Double_Window now has a type() value of
FL_DOUBLE_WINDOW, to allow double-buffered windows to
process redraws properly on WIN32 (STR #46)
- Added FL_DAMAGE_USER1 and FL_DAMAGE_USER2 damage bits
for use by widget developers (STR #57)
- Fl_Help_View didn't support numeric character entities
(STR #66)
- Menu shortcuts didn't use the Mac key names under
MacOS X (STR #71)
- CodeWarrior Mac OS X updated to work with current
CW8.3 (STR #34)
- Apple-C/X/V/Z didn't work in the Fl_Input widget due
to a bad mapping to control keys (STR #79)
- Added the OSX-specific fl_open_callback() function to
handle Open Documents messages from the Finder (STR
#80)
- The configure script contained erroneous whitespace in
various tests which caused errors on some platforms
(STR #60)
- The fltk-config script still supported the deprecated
--prefix and --exec-prefix options; dropped them since
they serve no useful purpose and would never have
worked for the intended purpose anyways... (STR #56)
- fl_filename_list returned 0 on Win32 if no directory
existed (STR #54)
- Pressing 'home' after the last letter in a Text_Editor
would move the cursor to pos 0 (STR #39)
- Fl::get_key(x) would mix up Ctrl and Meta on OS X (STR
#55)
- The configure script used the wrong dynamic library
linking command for OSX (STR #51)
- The Fl_Text_Editor widget did not set changed() nor
did it call the widget's callback function for
FL_WHEN_CHANGED when processing characters that
Fl::compose() handles (STR #52)
- The file chooser did not reset the click count when
changing directories; if you clicked on a file in the
same position after changing directories with a
double- click, the chooser treated it as a triple
click (STR #27)
- Symbols with outlines did not get drawn inactive.
- The Fl_Help_View widget now provides a find() method
to search for text within the page.
- The Fl_Help_Dialog widget now provides a search box
for entering text to search for.
- The default font encoding on OSX did not match the
default on WIN32 or X11.
- Menu items were not drawn using the font specified in
the Fl_Menu_Item structure (STR #30)
- Long menus that were aligned such that the top of an
item was exactly at the top of the screen would not
scroll (STR #33)
- The OS issues appendix incorrectly stated that MacOS
8.6 and 9 were supported; they are not (STR #28)
- Fixed handling of nested double-buffered windows (STR
#1)
- Showing a subwindow inside a hidden window would crash
the application (STR #23)
- OSX users couldn't enter some special chars when using
some foreign key layouts (STR #32)
- Hiding subwindows on OSX would hide the parent window
(STR #22)
- Added thin plastic box types.
- Fl_Pack ignored the box() setting and cleared any
unused areas to the widget color; it now only does so
if the box() is set to something other than FL_NO_BOX.
- Updated the Fl_Tabs widget to offset the first tab by
the box dx value to avoid visual errors.
- Updated the plastic up box to draw only a single
border frame instead of the old double one for
improved appearance.
- Updated the default background color on OSX to provide
better contrast.
- Fl_Text_Display and friends now look for the next
non-punctuation/space character for word boundaries
(STR #26)
- gl_font() didn't work properly for X11 when Xft was
used (STR #12)
- Fl_File_Browser incorrectly included "." on WIN32 (STR
#9)
- Include shellapi.h instead of ShellAPI.h in the WIN32
drag-n-drop code in order to work with the MingW cross
compiler (STR #6)
- The cursor was not properly restored when doing
drag-n-drop on X11 (STR #4)
- Fl::remove_fd() didn't recalculate the highest file
descriptor properly (STR #20)
- Fl_Preferences::deleteGroup() didn't work properly
(STR #13)
- Fixed the fl_show_file_selector() function - it was
copying using the wrong string size (STR #14)
- fl_font() and fl_size() were not implemented on MacOS
X.
- Sorted the icon menu bar in fluid.
- Fixed minor memory access complaints from Valgrind
- Compiling src/flstring.h on OS X with BSD header would
fail.
- Fl_Text_Editor didn't scroll the buffer when the user
pressed Ctrl+End or Ctrl+Home.
- Fl_Text_Editor didn't show its cursor when the mouse
was moved inside the window.
- FLUID now uses an Fl_Text_Display widget for command
output, which allows you to copy and paste text from
command output into other windows.
- Fl_Gl_Window could cause a bus error on MacOS X if the
parent window was not yet shown.
- FLUID could crash after displaying a syntax error
dialog for the callback code.
- FLUID would reset the callback code if you opened the
widget panel for multiple widgets.
- Added a NULL check to Fl_Text_Display (SF Bug #706921).
- The fltk-config script placed the LDFLAGS at the wrong
place in the linker options.
- Fl_Text_Display didn't draw the outer box in the right
dimensions, so it was invisible.
- Fl_Help_Dialog used the same color for links as for
the background, causing links to be invisible on pages
without a background color set.
