Summary of new features in JavaFX 8?

[Felix Bembrick]

Hi Richard,

OK, thanks for that.  Can you at least say if you are aware of any major
feature or enhancement that I have omitted from my list?  I am not really
interested in anything smaller than key features although a list of all the
new controls would be very helpful!  (Maybe Jonathan would be better placed
to answer the last part of that).

Thanks,

Felix
