-FLTK 1.4 is based on the final release of FLTK 1.3.4. Later updates

+FLTK 1.5 is based on the release of FLTK 1.4.2. Later updates and

+you don't need to change source code when you switch to FLTK 1.5.
+However, all programs must be recompiled with FLTK 1.5 because the
ABI (Application Binary Interface) has changed.
-Potential source code conflicts are documented in chapter "Migrating
-Code from FLTK 1.3 to 1.4" of the user documentation [1].
-
-FLTK 1.4 adds some new widgets (e.g. Fl_Flex, Fl_Grid) for flexible GUI
-layout, Fl_Scheme_Choice for scheme selection by users, and more.
-Other widgets (Fl_Tabs, Fl_Tile, Fl_Spinner etc.) have been improved
-for better user experience.
-
-FLTK 1.4 supports HighDPI displays under Linux/Unix and Windows and
-improves HighDPI support on macOS. The initial screen scaling factor is
-read from the system and application windows can be zoomed (in/out/reset)
-by the user with ctrl/+/-/0 shortcuts, respectively.
-
-CMake support has been improved significantly and requires CMake 3.15 or
-higher, autotools/configure/make is still supported. The latter will be
-dropped in the next minor release (1.5.0).
-
-macOS is supported up to 15.3 "Sequoia".
-
-The platform dependent code in FLTK 1.4 was rewritten to enable easier
-porting to new platforms. Basically all platform dependent code has
-been isolated and implemented in virtual methods of "driver" classes.
-For details see 'src/drivers' and subdirectories.
-
-FLTK is now compatible with the Wayland platform on current Linux
-distributions and FreeBSD. The default build of the library on these
-platforms supports both X11 and Wayland in a "hybrid" library. Programs
-compiled and linked to this library start using Wayland if it is
-available at runtime and fall back to using X11 if not. Programs using
-X11 specific code that are not yet ported to Wayland can still be used
-on pure X11 systems or by disabling the Wayland support on startup so
-they fall back to using X11 only. This requires 'XWayland' support on
-Wayland enabled (Linux) systems.
-
-The current development branch on GitHub [2] is `master`. This will be
-changed to `branch-1.4` when development of FLTK 1.5.0 begins and 1.4
-will be switched to maintenance mode.
