A great deal of work was done to fltk1 after fltk2.0 was branched off of it, to the point where it is quite impossible to port many fltk1 programs to fltk2.
To be honest I expect any future version to be derived from fltk1.3. I think the best ideas from fltk2.0 will be back-ported. For instance the fact that the documentation was done in Doxygen has already been done. I think I need to write up a document saying what works and what to ignore. It does seem that source code compatibility with 1 is going to be a requirement for most users. I still feel that namespaces can be added and preserve this. However some other stuff in 2 is never going to happen, such as parent-relative widget coordinates, the removal of the automatic begin() from groups, and so on. 2.0 has an enormous amout of rewriting of the lower levels such as the drawing and event handling which really should be put into 1. ex cord wrote: > Hi, > > I just had a look at "Article #825: What are the Versions of FLTK?" > http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L825+I0+TFAQ+P1+Q but still don't > quite understand. > > Is it planned for 2.0 to eventually replace 1.3?
