\page migration_1_3 Migrating Code from FLTK 1.1 to 1.3
This appendix describes the differences between the FLTK
1.1.x and FLTK 1.3.x functions and classes.
\section migration_1_3_fltk_1_0 Migrating From FLTK 1.0
If you want to migrate your code from FLTK 1.0 to FLTK 1.3,
then you should first consult Appendix \ref migration_1_1.
\section migration_1_3_fl_scroll Fl_Scroll Widget
Fl_Scroll::scroll_to(int x, int y) replaces Fl_Scroll::position(int x, int y).
This change was needed because Fl_Scroll::position(int,int) redefined
Fl_Widget::position(int,int), but with a completely different function (moving
the scrollbars instead of moving the widget).
Please be aware that you need to change your application's code for all
Fl_Scroll-derived widgets, if you used Fl_Scroll::position(int x, int y)
to position <b>the scrollbars</b> (not the widget itself).
The compiler will not detect any errors, because your calls to
\b position(int x, int y) will be calling Fl_Widget::position(int x, int y).
\section migration_1_3_unicode Unicode (UTF-8)
FLTK 1.3 uses Unicode (UTF-8) encoding internally. If you are only using
characters in the ASCII range (32-127), there is a high probability that
you don't need to modify your code. However, if you use international
characters (128-255), encoded as e.g. Windows codepage 1252, ISO-8859-1,
ISO-8859-15 or any other encoding, then you will need to update your character
string constants and widget input data accordingly.
Please refer to the \ref unicode chapter for more details.
\note It is important that, although your software uses only ASCII characters
for input to FLTK widgets, the user may enter non-ASCII characters, and FLTK
will return these characters with UTF-8 encoding to your application, e.g.
via Fl_Input::value(). You \b will need to re-encode them to \b your (non-UTF-8)
encoding, otherwise you might see or print garbage in your data.
\section migration_1_3_int_coords Widget Coordinate Representation
FLTK 1.3 changed all Widget coordinate variables and methods, e.g.
Fl_Widget::x(), Fl_Widget::y(), Fl_Widget::w(), Fl_Widget::h(), from
short (16-bit) to int (32-bit) representation. This should not affect
any existing code, but makes it possible to use bigger scroll areas
(e.g. Fl_Scroll widget).
