Summary of new features in JavaFX 8?

[Jonathan Giles]

In JavaFX 8.0 we have made SkinBase public but the Behavior class and subclasses are still private implementation and are not public for 8.0. There is still more work to be done here.

On top of this there has been considerable work done to provide more CSS API for styleable properties and custom pseudoclass states. There is a huge amount of power here.
