ScalaFX 8.0.40-R8 released

[Jarek Sacha]

ScalaFX 8.0.40-R8 adds support for new features in JavaFX 8u40.

• Compatibility braking changes:

  • Issue #163: content property naming conflict with JavaFX 8u40. Usage of content property in ScalaFX where it was referring to children property in JavaFX was deprecated in v.8.0.31-R7, and is now removed in ScalaFX 8.0.40-R8. You need to use children to access childrenProperty in JavaFX, and content to access contentProperty.
  • To follow the same naming approach, use of content in Scene and SubScene was deprecated. You should use children instead.

• New features (JavaFX 8u40):

  • Issue #162: Support Dialogs and Alerts. See examples in those this blog post**
  • Issue #158: Add Spinner and SpinnerValueFactory classes. See examples in this blog post
  • Add TextFormatter and new properties in TextInputControl. See examples in those two blog posts.
  • Add new class VertexFormat.
  • Add wrappers for new properties in: LineChart, Node, Platform, ScrollPane, TriangleMesh.
  • Issue #160: Support new accessibility properties added to Node
  • Updated TreeItem constructors

• Bug fixes:

  • Issue #180: Bindings.select* methods throw “property … doesn’t exists” exceptions.

To use ScalaFX add following to your SBT:

libraryDependencies += "org.scalafx" %% "scalafx" % "8.0.40-R8"
