Thanks for the info.

Sounds good.

This will definitely not be 1.1.x, but as someone else mentioned a long time
ago (I found an old post somewhere), we're interested in having DirectFB
support in the distribution. At least we'll evaluate it, and see how it
can be done. As mentioned earlier, there are plans to redesign the
device dependent parts, and that would be the point, when official
DirectFB support could be added.

I can't look into the future, but this will maybe be FLTK 1.5 or later.
But I think (hope) that this will not be in the very far future.

Currently we are very busy with FLTK 1.3 (utf-8). Until we can
start DirectFB support we have your port, and that's good to
know. It's almost up-to-date, and users can use it. Something
like Oksid's FLTK 1.1.6 utf-8 support - now we're working on
its integration in the distribution.

I'll have a look (just for curiosity), but I didn't find a direct
download link for a source tarball, and what I found was a .tar.gz
file that couldn't be read.

Is there a way to download a complete tarball of your sources
without installing git? Do you have a link for us?

Thanks for your time and your port.

Albrecht
