Summary of new features in JavaFX 8?

[Richard Bair]

In theory the JavaDocs are supposed to have @since JavaFX 8.0 on all classes / methods which were added in 8. At one point it was accurate, it may have drifted since. There was also some tool that did a diff from one JavaDoc version to the next to figure out what was added. I mention this because I don't ever remember what is new and have to take those steps myself to be reminded of all the things we've done since last year :-)
