 <h4>FLTK Ada Binding</h4>

+
+<p>This binding is now complete enough for most purposes. It certainly took more effort than expected, in
+part due to underestimation of how much needed binding. The vast majority of useful classes are now usable
+in Ada, with a few exceptions such as the Fl_Browser, Fl_Help_View, Fl_Table, and Fl_Tree widgets.</p>
+
+<p>Noteworthy features and modifications include:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Constructors are not primitive operations and are not inherited</li>
+  <li>Additional types have been defined and used to clean up the API</li>
+  <li>No heap allocation/deallocation necessary</li>
+  <li>Ada 2012 iterators are implemented for Group and Menu widgets</li>
+  <li>The API for Menu and Menu_Item has been rearranged to better reflect a container/item dichotomy</li>
+  <li>The Draw and Handle widget methods are easily overridable</li>
+  <li>Static methods from the base Fl.H header have been split up into multiple packages</li>
+  <li>Automatic addition of widgets to a Group with fl_group_begin and fl_group_end is not supported</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>A mapping of what C++ headers and methods correspond to what Ada packages, functions, and procedures is
+included. Also, the below "Hello world" code sample has been modified to work with the updated binding.</p>
