FLTK provides modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D graphics via OpenGL(r) and its built-in GLUT emulation. The FLTK 1.1.4 release is primarily a bug-fix release including fixes to FLUID and the Fl_File_Chooser, Fl_Help_View, Fl_Text_Display, and Fl_Text_Editor widgets. The new release also adds a find method to Fl_Help_View. FLTK is provided under the GNU Library Public License with exceptions that allow for static linking. Changes since FLTK 1.1.3 include: - The file chooser did not reset the click count when changing directories; if you clicked on a file in the same position after changing directories with a double- click, the chooser treated it as a triple click (STR #27) - Symbols with outlines did not get drawn inactive. - The Fl_Help_View widget now provides a find() method to search for text within the page. - The Fl_Help_Dialog widget now provides a search box for entering text to search for. - The default font encoding on OSX did not match the default on WIN32 or X11. - Menu items were not drawn using the font specified in the Fl_Menu_Item structure (STR #30) - Long menus that were aligned such that the top of an item was exactly at the top of the screen would not scroll (STR #33) - The OS issues appendix incorrectly stated that MacOS 8.6 and 9 were supported; they are not (STR #28) - Fixed handling of nested double-buffered windows (STR #1) - Showing a subwindow inside a hidden window would crash the application (STR #23) - OSX users couldn't enter some special chars when using some foreign key layouts (STR #32) - Hiding subwindows on OSX would hide the parent window (STR #22) - Added thin plastic box types. - Fl_Pack ignored the box() setting and cleared any unused areas to the widget color; it now only does so if the box() is set to something other than FL_NO_BOX. - Updated the Fl_Tabs widget to offset the first tab by the box dx value to avoid visual errors. - Updated the plastic up box to draw only a single border frame instead of the old double one for improved appearance. - Updated the default background color on OSX to provide better contrast. - Fl_Text_Display and friends now look for the next non-punctuation/space character for word boundaries (STR #26) - gl_font() didn't work properly for X11 when Xft was used (STR #12) - Fl_File_Browser incorrectly included "." on WIN32 (STR #9) - Include shellapi.h instead of ShellAPI.h in the WIN32 drag-n-drop code in order to work with the MingW cross compiler (STR #6) - The cursor was not properly restored when doing drag-n-drop on X11 (STR #4) - Fl::remove_fd() didn't recalculate the highest file descriptor properly (STR #20) - Fl_Preferences::deleteGroup() didn't work properly (STR #13) - Fixed the fl_show_file_selector() function - it was copying using the wrong string size (STR #14) - fl_font() and fl_size() were not implemented on MacOS X. - Sorted the icon menu bar in fluid. - Fixed minor memory access complaints from Valgrind - Compiling src/flstring.h on OS X with BSD header would fail. - Fl_Text_Editor didn't scroll the buffer when the user pressed Ctrl+End or Ctrl+Home. - Fl_Text_Editor didn't show its cursor when the mouse was moved inside the window. - FLUID now uses an Fl_Text_Display widget for command output, which allows you to copy and paste text from command output into other windows. - Fl_Gl_Window could cause a bus error on MacOS X if the parent window was not yet shown. - FLUID could crash after displaying a syntax error dialog for the callback code. - FLUID would reset the callback code if you opened the widget panel for multiple widgets. - Added a NULL check to Fl_Text_Display (SF Bug #706921). - The fltk-config script placed the LDFLAGS at the wrong place in the linker options. - Fl_Text_Display didn't draw the outer box in the right dimensions, so it was invisible. - Fl_Help_Dialog used the same color for links as for the background, causing links to be invisible on pages without a background color set. ----HTML----
