OpenJFX is an open source, next generation client + application platform for desktop and embedded systems + based on JavaSE. This quarter, the OpenJFX port was + reworked and has some significant improvements.

+ +

More modules are being built. With the new web module we + gain support for applications that have their own builtin + web browser like e.g. AsciidocFX. The new media module + allows JavaFX applications to playback audio and video + files.

+ +

A port of the JavaFX scenebuilder, a RAD tool for + building JavaFX scenes, was added to the ports tree.

+ +

The OpenGL Prism backend for GPU acceleration was enabled + by default.
