Release Notes for JavaFX 23

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 23 release. JavaFX 23 requires JDK 21 or later.

Important Changes

JavaFX 23 Requires JDK 21 or Later

JavaFX 23 is compiled with --release 21 and thus requires JDK 21 or later in order to run. If you attempt to run with an older JDK, the Java launcher will exit with an error message indicating that the javafx.base module cannot be read.

See JDK-8321603 for more information.

Clicking on the Scrollbar Track of Virtualized Controls Scrolls by Viewport Length

Clicking on the scrollbar track of virtualized controls, such as ListView, TreeView, TableView, and TreeTableView, now scrolls by the viewport length rather than the length of the empty cell. Furthermore, cells are no longer aligned to the top or bottom of the viewport after scrolling.

See JDK-8323511 for more information.

Keyboard Scrolling in Virtualized Controls

Keyboard scrolling key bindings, alt-ctrl-arrows (option-command-arrows on macOS), have been added to virtualized controls such as ListView, TreeView, TableView, and TreeTableView to improve accessibility.

See JDK-8313138 for more information.
