I agree, congrats to all the folks inside and outside Oracle that have been making tremendous contributions to JavaFX! A special thanks to Steve for really pushing OpenJFX as a real open source project with an open development process. We really want to work with the community on this project on an equal footing. We’ve had tons of valuable contributions in the form of bug fixes, blog posts, technical discussions, and patches. Keep up the great work! 8u20 has a big pile of bug fixes, so please do kick the tires on that one. Lots of great work going on in terms of Accessibility right now, also embedded work and as always performance work. Scene Builder is healthy and active, we’d love to see it embedded in all the IDEs and direct contributions from the community to Scene Builder would be fantastic. A big thanks to the porters brining JavaFX to Android/iOS and other platforms! Looking forward to 8u20 and Java 9!

Richard
