* FLTK2
  - is unstable, fast moving target
  - long way to stabilization
  - come concerns on its future, because of FLTK1.3 line now having some FLTK2
features and is considered being merge of FLTK1+2

* FLTK1
  - only bug-fixes
  - stable API

Upgrading FLTK to version 2 means breakage of API/ABI and also regressions:

"""
However, the momentum of the FLTK-1.1.x development meant that there are many
bug-fixes in 1.1.x that are not available in 2.0.
"""
