Release Notes for JavaFX 22

Introduction

The following notes describe important changes and information about this release. In some cases, the descriptions provide links to additional detailed information about an issue or a change.

These release notes cover the standalone JavaFX 22 release. JavaFX 22 requires JDK 17 or later.

Important Changes

Animation May Be Started Asynchronously

The Animation methods play, start, stop, and pause may now be called on any thread. If these methods are called on a thread other than the JavaFX Application Thread, they will delegate to that thread to ensure proper thread safety. Since the execution is asynchronous in that case, the status might not be updated right away.

See JDK-8324658 for more information.
