New releases for ScalaFX 8.0.20 paned soon

[Jarek Sacha]

Recent release of JavaFX 8.0.20 brought some changes in API including some incompatibilities. Basically, JavaFX 8.0.20 broke ScalaFX compilation due to 2 methods removed from SwingFXUtils (I fixed that). Broke tests for two reasons: 1) some new properties were added, like Stage.alwaysOnTop (fixed that), 2) some constructors no longer accept 'null' arguments, like TablePosition (not fixed yet). There are possibly some other changes listed below.

I am thinking about creating a new release for ScalFX to support those changes plus we have several new wrappers and some bug fixes. I am aiming at completing the fixes for 8.0.20 (and 2.2.67) and cutting releases this weekend. If you have something that you would like to add let me know.

I did not see official change log JavaFX 8.0.20 (anybody knows where it can be found?), so I used japicmp to list the changes JavaFX in public API:
