Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2016-12-27 18:16:42 CET
We're currently on 1.3.3, but 1.3.4 is out. We should be using the latest code given how much we rely on FLTK in TigerVNC. Debugging and developing new features against an old version can be a wasted effort.

patch for initial size on macOS

Unfortunately 1.3.4 isn't without bugs. Discovered the first one now via TigerVNC. And upstream development of 1.3.x is over in favour of 1.4.x.

This is a partial revert of r10860, which breaks the situation where the macOS window manager gives us a different window size than requested.

Error reported to TigerVNC here:

Wrt versions, there are:

* 1.3.4. No longer available directly from http://www.fltk.org/software.php (but from http://fltk.org/pub/fltk/1.3.4/fltk-1.3.4-source.tar.gz etc)

* 1.3.4-1. The only change is:
         - Fix Windows IDE solutions VisualC2008 and VisualC2010 to
          build properly if the FLTK source directory is located
          in a path that contains spaces.

* 1.3.4-2. The only change is:
        - Add support for Mac OS 10.13 'High Sierra'

However, this change has not been recorded in "CHANGES" in SVN, and there's no SVN tag. Also note that both these two releases have a -1/-2 suffix, which might be problematic with RPM. 

* There's also the trunk code, which is work towards 1.3.5. This includes a lot more fixes for macOS 10.13; the preliminary changelog for 1.3.5 again says:

- Added support for MacOS 10.13 "High Sierra".

My conclusion is that the original 1.3.4 makes sense right now.

Current version in build environment is 1.5.1 and latest stable release is
1.5.3. There is also an 2.0 beta available but lets updated to 1.5.3 this
round.

I have tested a native client with updated fltk package on
mac os 10.13 / Windows 10 and linux and couldn't find any
usability issues.

 - UI components such as buttons, file dialog etc
 - Multi monitor
Comment 29 Henrik Andersson cendio 2018-09-11 13:24:12 CEST
Retested nightly builds on linux/win10 and macos

No problems found regarding fltk upgrade

We are indeed using 1.3.4 in our builds now.

> * FLTK dependencies should be upgraded (e.g. fontconfig, libXrender)

All the direct dependencies are indeed updated. Some of the indirect dependencies got updated as part of other bugs, but not all. But it's probably good enough for this round.

Should be all done here.
Comment 33 Samuel Mannehed cendio 2019-03-05 09:51:36 CET
This bug should perhaps have been reopened since the imagemagick upgrade broke the macOS installer. The arrow that is supposed to explain that the ThinLinc Client should be manually dragged into the Applications folder was scaled up to almost 10 times the proper size.

It has however been fixed and I have verified that tlclient from 4.10.0beta1 works well on both OS X 10.6 and macOS 10.14.
