+<p>A few noteworthy bugfixes have been applied to the binding.</p>
+
+<p>First, unbeknownst to me the Fl_Widget constructor doesn't copy the given label string inside

+own different label could have unexpected and erratic results. Easily fixed by ensuring the binding
+constructor also calls copy_label() afterwards.<p>
+
+<p>And second, somehow I had made an oversight with the type assigned to Color, using a signed
+Integer when it really needed an unsigned modular type with 32 bits of range. Again, easily fixed
+but even more annoying since it was my fault to begin with.</p>
+
+<p>I'm sure the other guy aside from me who takes an interest in this binding will be happy about
+these. You know who you are.</p>
