Getting back to this release note question, I did the split in a separate [8350136-release-notes-24.dev](https://github.com/kevinrushforth/jfx/tree/8350136-release-notes-24.dev) branch. Here is the [updated release note for the ScrollPane behavior change](https://github.com/kevinrushforth/jfx/blob/8350136-release-notes-24.dev/doc-files/release-notes-24.md#scrollpane-consumes-navigation-keys-only-when-it-has-direct-focus).

@hjohn @andy-goryachev-oracle please take a look.
