Tiny Core v4.0 Alpha 2 Testing
TheNewbie:
What kind of changes are to be expected in the TC 4.0 in terms of the actual 'core' (that is, those features, interfaces, and graphics, which are created for TCL)?
Also, is FLTK going to be updated to 1.3? I know that it is somewhat incompatible with earlier versions, but it's a much-needed update, I think, considering that 1.1.10 was released over a year and a half ago (somewhere on the order of 20-21 months); in comparison, 1.3 was released 3 months ago, relatively stable yet modern. If TC doesn't update FLTK now, then we'll probably have to wait yet another year for an update.

Hi TheNewbie
Just out of curiosity, are you looking for an update simply because something newer is available, or
because you are having a specific problem with the version currently in use?

I don't personally have a specific problem to deal with, I'm just wondering if the team/community considers it worth it, and asking whether or not such an update will be include it. It supposedly offers Unicode support, and I did have small issues with special characters when browsing the Web, but in general, an update would not bring many benefits.
For clarification, I am not looking for an update -- I asked whether it would be updated, and also stated some time frames for reference. I did use the words "much-needed," and those were specifically taking into account only those time frames. I don't think 1.3 would introduce major issues, but I understand if the team feels that it's not mature enough to warrant updating TC to use it.
Really though, I'm more worried about the TC-specific updates, as opposed to external lib availability and inclusion.

Poor choice of words on my part, I was just curious about your inquiry.
