EuIup is considered alpha not necessarly because it's bug ridden but that it's not what I consider feature complete. Right now it's a base wrapper around Iup. Before it goes beta and RC I want to add a whole lot more euphoric wrappers and helpers. The core should always remain usable though, so I don't see Iup changing enough at its core to break user applications (although I will not guarantee anything, being in alpha status if I find something I want the ability to change it). What I do see happening is someone using EuIup and then in 3 months being able to cut their GUI code in half. So initially they have done more work by using the "raw" Iup wrappers then when Iup is nearing completion with all sorts of Euphoria based helpers.
As for canvas work. It has a canvas widget built in w/charting, events. It has an OpenGL canvas as well. Not yet wrapped is the advanced image manipulation library which provides hundreds of functions for working directly with images, doing transformations, etc...
I would recommend taking a peek at the Iup website and then comparing to the EuIup website to see what is and isn't wrapped. Bascially, 100% of Iup, the vast majority of the Canvas Draw package and nothing from the IM library yet.
