Suggestion:

### Pluggable Image Loading via `javax.imageio`

doc-files/release-notes-24.md line 70:

> 68: JavaFX 24 supports the Java Image I/O API, allowing applications to use third-party image loaders in addition to the built-in image loaders.

When an image is loaded using a variable-density image loader, JavaFX rasterizes the image with the screen's DPI scaling.

I think this would flow better as:
