The second release candidate for FLTK 1.1.4 is now available for
download and testing. You now have until August 12th, 2003 to
report any problems with this release candidate using the
software trouble report form at the following URL:
http://www.fltk.org/str.php
If no priority 4 or 5 STRs are received and confirmed before
this date, FLTK 1.1.4 will be released.
Note: Since problems reported on the FLTK newsgroups or mailing
lists are *not* automatically entered as STRs, it is important
that you report any problems using the STR form.
---- Draft FLTK 1.1.4 Release Announcement ----
The FLTK Team is proud to announce the release of FLTK 1.1.4,
a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX(r)/Linux(r) (X11),
Microsoft(r) Windows(r), and MacOS(r) X. 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 fl_read_image() function was not implemented on
OSX (STR #161)
- VC++ 7.1 didn't like how the copy operators were
disabled for the Fl_Widget class; now include inline
code which will never be used but makes VC++ happy
(STR #156)
- Fixed an IRIX compile problem caused by a missing
#include (STR #157)
- FLUID didn't write color/selection_color() calls using
the symbolic names when possible, nor did it cast
integer colors to Fl_Color (STR #146)
- Fl_File_Chooser was very close for multiple file
selection in large directories (STR #140)
- Fl_Text_Display/Editor did not disable the current
selection when focus was shifted to another widget
(STR #131)
- Fl_Choice didn't use the normal focus box when the
plastic scheme was in use (STR #129)
- Fl_Text_Editor didn't use selection_color()
consistently (STR #130)
- The fltk_forms, fltk_gl, and fltk_images DSO's and
HP-UX shared libraries are now linked against the fltk
shared library to provide complete dependency
resolution (STR #118)
- The configure.in file did not work with autoconf 2.57.
- FLUID didn't redraw widgets when changing the X, Y, W,
or H values in the widget panel (STR #120)
- Fl_Window::show(argc, argv) wasn't calling
Fl::get_system_colors() as documented (STR #119)
- DSO (shared library) building wasn't quite right for
some platforms (STR #118)
- OSX: some changes to make ProjectBuilder compiles
possible.
- OSX: FLTK would not know where a window was positioned
by the OS. As a result, popup menus could open at
wrong positions.
- Fl_Window::show(argc,argv) incorrectly opened the
display prior to parsing the arguments; this prevented
the "-display foo" option from working (STR #111)
- Images were not clipped properly on MacOS X (STR #114)
- Fl::reload_scheme() and Fl::scheme("foo") incorrectly
called Fl::get_system_colors(). This prevented an
application from setting its own color preferences
(STR #115)
- The 'Enter' key event on OS X would not set Fl::e_text
(STR #???)
- Changed behaviour of fluid to always paste into
a selected group (STR #88)
- Menuitem now changes font, even if fontsize
is not set (STR #110)
- Swapped shortcut labels in OS X (STR #86)
- Non-square Fl_Dial would calculate angle from user
input wrong (STR #101)
- Updated documentatiopn of fl_draw (STR #94)
and Fl_Menu_::add() (STR #99)
- Fluid collapse triangle events were not offset by
horizontal scroll (STR #106)
- QuitAppleEvent now correctly returns from Fl::run()
instead of just exiting (STR #87)
- Hiding the first created OpenGL context was not
possible. FLTK now manages a list of contexts (STR #77)
- FLUID didn't keep the double/single buffer type for
windows.
- FLTK didn't work with Xft2.
- OSX window resizing didn't work (STR #64)
- Fixed MacOS X shared library generation (STR #51)
- Several widgets defined their own size() method but
didn't provide an inline method that mapped to the
Fl_Widget::size() method (STR #62)
- Fl_Scroll didn't provide its own clear() method, so
calling clear() on a Fl_Scroll widget would also
destroy the scrollbars (STR #75)
- Fl::event_text() was sometimes initialized to NULL
instead of an empty string (STR #70)
- fl_draw() didn't properly handle a trailing escaped
"@" character (STR #84)
- Added documentation for all forms of
Fl_Widget::damage() (STR #61)
- Fl_Double_Window now has a type() value of
FL_DOUBLE_WINDOW, to allow double-buffered windows to
process redraws properly on WIN32 (STR #46)
- Added FL_DAMAGE_USER1 and FL_DAMAGE_USER2 damage bits
for use by widget developers (STR #57)
- Fl_Help_View didn't support numeric character entities
(STR #66)
- Menu shortcuts didn't use the Mac key names under
MacOS X (STR #71)
- CodeWarrior Mac OS X updated to work with current
CW8.3 (STR #34)
- Apple-C/X/V/Z didn't work in the Fl_Input widget due
to a bad mapping to control keys (STR #79)
- Added the OSX-specific fl_open_callback() function to
handle Open Documents messages from the Finder (STR
#80)
- The configure script contained erroneous whitespace in
various tests which caused errors on some platforms
(STR #60)
- The fltk-config script still supported the deprecated
--prefix and --exec-prefix options; dropped them since
they serve no useful purpose and would never have
worked for the intended purpose anyways... (STR #56)
- fl_filename_list returned 0 on Win32 if no directory
existed (STR #54)
- Pressing 'home' after the last letter in a Text_Editor
would move the cursor to pos 0 (STR #39)
- Fl::get_key(x) would mix up Ctrl and Meta on OS X (STR
#55)
- The configure script used the wrong dynamic library
linking command for OSX (STR #51)
- The Fl_Text_Editor widget did not set changed() nor
did it call the widget's callback function for
FL_WHEN_CHANGED when processing characters that
Fl::compose() handles (STR #52)
- 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.
