TC Zhao has promised to send us the sources as soon as he has time to
fetch it. Obviously he did not have time yet.

What we have is the NEWS file. If I remove all bug fixes, here is what
remains as user-visible changes. As you see, it is really not much.
There has also been lots of small bug fixes.

------------------------------------------
V1.1cvs
  o Migrate from Imake to the GNU autotools.
  o fl_init_RGBdatabase is no longer needed, does nothing and is
    retained for compatibility only.
  o Pass KeyRelease events to the widgets.
  o Enable fdesign to work correctly with paths like ../foo/bar/your_file.fd.
  o Add a -dir <destdir> option to fdesign to place generated files in destdir.
------------------------------------------
V1.0RC1	May 30, 2002
  o. Very minor API changes.  `FL_ERROR_FUNC' has been typedef'd for
     fl_set_error_handler() function.  `FL_VAL_FILTER' has also been
     typedef'd for use by fl_set_{counter,slider}_filter().  Neither
     of these changes should affect much of anything.
  o. The flimage functions are in their own library now: libflimage.
     They should be usable standalone, but I have not had an
     opportunity to test them.
  o. The OpenGL functions are in their own library now: libformsGL
     fl_add_glcanvas() and its ilk live there.  Application build scripts/
     Makefiles should include -lformsGL.
  o. The Xpm library is no longer built or distributed with XForms.
  o. The majority of the function prototypes in `forms.h' have been
     expanded to include variable names.
