So here's my crop.
Absolutely. Please! I started this specifically to get the opinion of the users. I mostly know the opinions of the developers, but we are not writing this library for us alone (or at least we should not ;-). I really hope that as many users as possible chime in and give their opinion. This was a long weekend in parts of Europe as well, so I will let this thread run a lot longer before summing it up. Thank you very much for you words on FLTK1 vs. FLTK2 development. This pretty much described the two chairs that we sit between: FLTK2 development has been slooooow at best. There hasn't been any major bug fixing in months and the STR list grows. Sure, there is frustration on the FLTK2 side because FLTK1 got a lot more attention in the last months, but that's what "finalizing" is all about. Just the last two mails imply that finalizing the FLTK1 branch and continuing with FLTK2 will cost us users, and not concentrating on FLTK2 will cost us user as well. I would love to know which action will *bring* us new users and what will make the *stay* and even *contribute* in the long run? Again, I am writing this library for others to use, and for myself. But if it gets to the point where I only support six remaining users, I will switch libraries as well... .
