Sorry to raise this at the last minute, but any interest in including
any of the changes that have made their way into the Debian (and hence
Ubuntu, etc.) packages?  Here's the list:

- Some minor build-system tweaks, including one that brings explicit
  library linkage in precise line with direct usage.

- A setup that changes fl_xfont into an (API- and ABI-compatible) smart
  pointer to be populated on demand (and invalidated on font changes)
  when primarily using Xft, largely for the sake of flwm's rotated
  fonts.  (Fully populating fl_xfont on every font change proved too
  expensive, particularly considering that most apps don't use it at
  all.)

- Logic in Fl_Choice to allow custom background colors in the default
  scheme in conjunction with light custom foreground colors, as the
  current behavior of forcing white backgrounds can yield illegible
  results.

- A safeguard in fl_draw that defaults the font to (FL_HELVETICA, 14) if
  it hasn't been set yet.

- An update to the mirror list in documentation/intro.html, which had
  two stale entries (ftp2.fltk.org and ftp.funet.fi) last I checked.

- An i18n patch for fluid, originally due to Miriam Ruiz (who also
  submitted at as an STR years ago).  I've been keeping it around
  because I like the general concept, but I'm tempted to retire it, as
  the only translation (to Spanish) has fallen badly out of sync (with
  only 283/425 strings translated as of 1.1.9) and the translations
  haven't all been properly isolated to the UI (as opposed to the
  produced .fl file).

At the moment, they're all consolidated into a single large patch
against 1.1.9 (I'm too much of a traditionalist to use a patch system),
but I'd be happy to split out individual patches, forward-port them as
necessary, and submit formal STRs for anything of interest.  Most of the
patches are pretty small; the notable exception is the fluid i18n patch.
