IS the V0.4.1 available now?
I hope javafx2.0 will be supported.
it is a problem that Sun may give up support for javafx 1.3.

Yes, the current version in the mercurial repository and on the user
website is version 0.4.1.

As for JavaFX versions, I don't want to keep it on version 1.3 since it
will not be supported by Sun. The problem with just going straight to
JavaFX 2.0 is that it would take a very large amount of re-factoring, and
features I depended on, like closures are not yet available in Java or
JavaFX 2.0

What I do plan on doing instead is porting it over to Visage
(http://code.google.com/p/visage/), which is in development to be a
scripting language that is very similar to JavaFX 1.3, but will be wrapped
around the new JavaFX 2.0 API. When Visage gets fully implemented, this
should provide the best of both worlds: little change to the current code
and working with the newest (and supported) version of JavaFX.
