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. - - -[1] https://www.fltk.org/doc-1.4/ (HTML) and - https://www.fltk.org/doc-1.4/fltk.pdf (PDF) -[2] https://github.com/fltk/fltk.git +More info TBD. |
