When will the transition to FLTK begin?

It started a long time ago, circa the beginning of 2005, with the rendering abstraction layer. Now we have a prototype that's very advanced and unreleased. I suppose the OP wanted to know when the FLTK port will be released.
I don't know; most probably when we have the funds. Otherwise we have yet to decide what to do.
One question and a comments: why is it unreleased at this time?
Some companies want to have an advantage to justify investment (as a six month window for instance), some others not. This may be the case. Companies looking to reduce costs, just take whatever is there and don't give back. BTW, this happened most of the time with the GTK1 branch of Dillo. FWIW, our idea has always been to have a Free SW Dillo with a view to accomplish its goals. If we had aimed for selling Dillo as propietary SW, it would have happened already.
I'm one of the people waiting for the FLTK thing to show up before I look whether I'm able and willing to contribute to Dillo. It's a great browser, and I'd like to help, but not by working on code that's obsolete.
Good! Sure, I understand the point. BTW, do you have FLTK2 experience? How much time are you willing to contribute to development? -- Cheers Jorge.-
