CHANGES IN FLTK 1.3.4 RELEASED: ??? ?? ????
New features and extensions
- Added full support of true subwindows to the Mac OS X platform.
Window nesting to any depth is possible. An Fl_Gl_Window window or
subwindow can contain Fl_Window's as subwindows.
1.3.4 ABI FEATURES
To enable the following ABI features, put:
#define FL_ABI_VERSION 10304
..at the top of your FL/Enumerations.H and rebuild FLTK and your app.
- Added the Fl_Shared_Image::scale(width, height) function which gives
a shared image its own drawing size, independently of the size of the
underlying image. This improves much image drawing on high resolution
surfaces such as Laser printers, PDF files, or Apple retina displays.
Other improvements
- The Mac OS X platform no longer uses the deprecated AGL
(Apple GL library) to draw OpenGL data. Instead, it uses standard
cocoa APIs. This allows FLTK to support drawing GL scenes at high
resolution when an Fl_Gl_Window is mapped to a 'retina' display.
- fl_read_image() now captures all pixels within the rectangle
described by its arguments, whether they belong to a GL scene
or not (STR #3142). It also captures subwindows of GL windows.
- Fl::delete_widget() now hides the widget or window immediately
(i.e. when called) - only destruction is delayed as before.
- The PostScript code output when printing images under Linux/Unix
is quite smaller due to use of lossless compression techniques.
- The Linux/Unix printer dialog now uses BSD-style printing commands
(lpr/lpq) when SystemV-style commands (lp/lpstat) are not available.
- Drawing alpha-blended images under X11 is now accelerated with
Xrender.
Bug fixes
- Reading of .pbm image files is fixed: 1 is now interpreted as
black, and images of width a multiple of 8 are correctly read.
Note: if you relied on the faulty behavior you may need to fix
your image files.
- Restored window background drawing, particularly the 'plastic'
scheme's background (STR #3059). This was a regression since
FLTK 1.3.0.
- Fixed possible bad border effect when a set of radio menu items
is located first in its menu (STR #3176): Fl_Menu_Item::set_only()
is deprecated and replaced by Fl_Menu_::set_only(Fl_Menu_item*).
CHANGES IN FLTK 1.3.3 RELEASED: Nov 03 2014
New features and extensions
- New class Fl_Copy_Surface allows copying graphical data to the
clipboard in a cross-platform way (STR #3058).
- Support for pasting graphical data from the clipboard to a widget.
- New class Fl_Image_Surface allows drawing into an Fl_Image object.
- Methods Fl::add_clipboard_notify() and Fl::remove_clipboard_notify()
to get notifications whenever the clipboard changes (STR #2636).
- New method Fl_Window::wait_for_expose() (STR #3124, STR #3129).
- New bilinear scaling method for RGB images (STR #2869, STR #3062).
- New method Fl_Widget::top_window() (STR #2948).
- New method Fl_Widget::top_window_offset() (part of STR #2944).
- New Fl_Tree_Item methods label_x(), label_y(), label_w(), label_h().
- New methods Fl::enable_im() and Fl::disable_im() to enable/disable
system Input Methods (IM).
- New methods Fl::add_system_handler() and Fl::remove_system_handler()
to intercept low level system events.
- New FLTK scheme "gleam" (STR #2672).
- New method Fl::is_scheme() to compare the current scheme name.
- New method to set custom icons for windows (STR #2816),
see Fl_Window::icon() for more info.
- New method to set any custom cursor, based on a Fl_RGB_Image object.
Also changed fallback cursors to use this method, so that fallback
cursors are handled in a platform independent manner (STR #2660).
- New ability to convert Fl_Pixmap to Fl_RGB_Image (STR #2659).
- Support for full screen windows over multiple monitors.
- New optional line numbers in Fl_Text_Display and options to control
line numbers and word wrapping (on/off) in example test/editor.cxx.
- On Linux/Unix, class Fl_Native_File_Chooser uses file dialogs from
the Gnome environment (provided by the libgtk dynamic library) if
available, and falls back to Fl_File_Chooser if not (STR #3088).
Use option Fl::OPTION_FNFC_USES_GTK to enable/disable this feature.
- New support for the Mac OS text input system that deals with character
composition and input of languages with large character sets (e.g.
Chinese and Japanese). This implementation has been reported to work
well for Chinese. Superficial testing suggests it's also operational
for Japanese. In-depth testing remains needed though.
Other improvements
- Many CMake improvements (e.g. STR #2962, 2977, 2994, 3045, 3055).
- Some autoconf, configure improvements.
- Removed 1024 bytes constraint in labels and browser lines (STR #2990).
- Mac OS version of Fl_Native_File_Chooser: when using filters in a
save file dialog, the output file extension gets changed when the
user modifies the output file type.
- Many Mac OS X improvements related to Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar.
- Improved Mac OS X keyboard handling of special keys or combinations.
- General Mac OS X improvements, incl. high resolution (Retina)
displays, and support up to Mac OS X 10.10.
- Documentation improvements and clarifications.
- Printing support improvements, including GL windows.
- Many improvements related to Fl_Tree (some of them only as ABI
breaking features, see below).
- Some static data has been made 'const' to improve memory usage
with shared libraries.
- Don't grab navkeys with modifiers (CTRL, ALT), as the application
may want them (STR #3104).
- Check compiler support of -fvisibility, -fvisibility-inlines-hidden,
and use it, if available. Reduces shared library size.
- Drag'n'drop behaves better now: if text is dropped in the widget it
comes from, then it works like cut and paste.
- Other improvements of DND handling when dragging text from other
applications, e.g. Firefox and Thunderbird.
- Windows message WM_QUIT is processed like SIGTERM, i.e. as a
request to terminate the program.
- Fluid no longer closes the code window when hitting ESC (STR #2997).
- Improved Fl_Widget::when() handling in Fl_Tabs (STR #2939).
- Improved support for more recent compilers (clang and gcc) that
issue more warnings, and fixed some 32-/64-bit compilation issues.
- Added method Fl_Window::clear_modal_states() to make it possible
to remove the modal or non-modal state from a window (STR #3123).
Bug fixes

- Fixed various Mac specific OpenGL issues (STR #2944)
- Fixed PostScript printing with non-english locale (STR #3130).
- Fixed a regression in Fl_File_Chooser since FLTK 1.1.8: the
Enter key now selects the file again.
- Fixed a bug in Fl_Native_File_Chooser (Windows) for some file name
input filters (STR #3101).
- Fixed out-of-bounds memory access in Fl_Text_Display (STR #2730).
1.3.3 ABI FEATURES
To enable the following ABI features, put:
#define FLTK_ABI_VERSION 10303
..at the top of your FL/Enumerations.H and rebuild FLTK and your app.
- Added Fl_Window::shape(const Fl_Image*) to create arbitrarily-shaped
windows
- Made Fl_Help_View::handle() public and Fl_Help_View::draw() protected
to enable inheritance and for consistency (STR #2834).
Note: both methods were private.

function for Fl_Tree_Item's.
- Fl_Tree: various related changes:
o Added horizontal scrollbar
o Separated draw() and tree size calculation
o Added new public methods:
> resize() -- uses optimized dim calc, avoids tree recalc
> next_item() -- added parameters: direction, visibility
> extend_selection() -- added parameters, improved algorithm

> recalc_tree() -- schedules calc_tree()
> first_visible_item(), last_visible_item(), next_visible_item()
> first_selected_item(), last_selected_item(), next_selected_item()
o Added protected variables:
