IMHO also these (not in the base, but nice to have as a minimum useful distro) should be updated:
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/flaxpdf.tcz.dep =PDF viewer
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/flburn.tcz.dep =CD/DVD burner
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/flit.tcz.dep =sound/battery
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/flnotify.tcz.dep
BTW: dillo 3.2 depending on fltk-1.4 :)
and few others (not much used / commented in the forum):
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/pinentry-fltk.tcz.dep
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/moonfltk.tcz.dep =lua
https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/webkitfltk-dev.tcz.dep =maybe MIA missing in action (no appl using it).

Good to consider these. Flit is an app I created and definitely want to fix, and not just for FLTK reasons. The battery monitor does not work with the current power management sys/ filesystem stuff. Probably also needs some changes for the sound control side as well, if not more! :P
Not sure to what extent I can work on the others. Would be nice to have a native FLTK web browser so I don't need FF, which has a ton of local files that are getting backed up on TC exit.

Would any of you like to test these new versions? What's a good mechanism to do that these days? -Mike ...

If you like, I can setup a testing directory under http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/.
Email me a tarball (or 2) with the .tczs to test and I'll post them there.
I sent you an email so you'll have my address.
You might want to give the .tczs unique names so they don't clash
with official versions.

Excellent! I will try to email. Can we just rename the .tcz file to things like fluff_testing.tcz and flpicsee_testing.tcz?
Here's a screenshot showing FlPicsee's spiffy new icon.

Hi Leee
fluff_testing and flpicsee_testing .tcz and .tcz.dep available at:
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/testing
If you have fluff or flpicsee loaded, reboot without loading them before
attempting to load fluff_testing and/or flpicsee_testing.
Source tarballs can be found in:
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/testing/src

Thanks Rich.

Hi Leee
You are welcome. :)

Short update... I got a version of Flit building with FLTK 1.4.x, and some of the basics are working. ;D
However, the batt/power monitor needs a big overhaul to work right with current Linux kernels (which I started working on in 2023, but lost that file, bit it shouldn't be too hard to re-create). It does the fractional scaling thing with Ctrl+Plus / Ctrl+Minus, but I want to have it automatically pick up the default/configured scaling factor from FLTK like I did for FLWM as a whole. Sound can be controlled but I think there are some quirks about it (maybe because I have PulseAudio installed to get sound working right with FireFox / Youtube. It's displaying the WiFi signal strength OK, but I don't know if it can fully substitute for the WiFi.tcz extension yet.
