I have used and been mightly impressed with FLTK over the years. I love its simplicity and how it makes robustly, includes visual studio project files and on .... However i tentatively offer some of my thoughts as a simple user who hasnt really earned the right to comment, but here goes anyway... One or two things have seemed weird o FLTK 2 and 1 never converging. o An old UTF8 version that no one picked up on. o An aborted 1.2 version. o Simple Widgets like Tree and Tables not being in the core library. o Lots of other Widgets developed but that have never been brought into an "extras" library. o All these other extra Widgets ( like FLU and FL_TABLE ) that i rely on going out of date if someone changes the API. o 1.3 stating that it was going to include Tree abd Tables, but this was not the case last time i looked. So seeing the above post about yet another version concerns me greatly !!! I personally would like to see some of the above issues confronted and the work in version 1.3 completed before yet another fork goes ahead. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
