CHANGES IN FLTK 1.1.8
- Fl::awake() could block on X11 and OSX (STR #1537)
+ - Dropped "native" recursive POSIX mutex support since the kernel's
+ underlying implementation may not support it even if the C
+ library does (STR #1575)
- WIN32 did check callbacks after the event processing instead of
before as documented (STR #1535)
- Fl_File_Chooser now hides the window before doing a callback
