Personally, I would not recommend 2.x to anyone at the moment,
unless they're willing to maintain it.
Last summer a few of the 1.3.x developers noticed FLTK 2.x
support was seriously flagging, and after a poll for activity,
it seemed to "officially" determined to be in limbo; the group
of developers that were maintaining it seemed to have vaporized.
FLTK 2.x is currently a stalled project in search of
developers/maintainers.
AFAIK, FLTK 2.x never got to a release stage, and was still in
alpha when it fell into limbo.
1.3.x is what all the developers here are continuing to support,
and is the only thing I'd recommend to new projects, as FLTK 1.3.x
has a lot of adopters and maintainers. It's very much like 1.1.x
with many features/fixes/widgets added to it. The API hasn't changed
much between 1.1.x and 1.3.x, but the ABI (binary interface) /has/
changed.
