I've been maintaining FX Experience for a really long time now, and I love hearing from people who enjoy my weekly links roundup. One thing I've noticed recently is that maintaining two sites (FX Experience and JonathanGiles.net) takes more time than ideal, and splits the audience up. Therefore, FX Experience will become read-only for new blog posts, but weekly posts will continue to be published on JonathanGiles.net. If you follow @FXExperience on Twitter, I suggest you also follow @JonathanGiles. This is not the end - just a consolidation of my online presence to make my life a little easier!
tl;dr: Follow me on Twitter and check for the latest news on JonathanGiles.net.
As with the recent ControlsFX update release, I’m happy to announce the release of Scenic View 8.6.0. This release brings compatibility with JavaFX 8u60. Let me know if you run into any further problems. You can download it from the main Scenic View page.
As with ControlsFX, I will also be presenting a BOF at JavaOne on Scenic View. If you are in the neighbourhood I hope you can come along and we can chat about the future of this very useful tool!
Gluon offers industry-leading solutions for mobile and cloud, as well as professional Java and JavaFX consultancy.
FX Experience is maintained by Jonathan Giles.
Great job on this project and the latest update! It works as advertised with the latest 8u60 JDK, thank you.

Thank you for a superb tool!
I have been using it for debugging my JavaFx2 applications and have recently upgraded to Java8. I tried to download the 8.6.0 but it still looks like 8.0.0 both in the console and when looking in the about pane?
I’m having problems with this on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04, Oracle Java 1.8.0_60). Has anyone else ran into this?

This version seems to work fine for me on OSX.
Hi
Works with 1.8.0_25 and 1.8.0_40 for me, but does not seem to work with (the newer) JDK 1.8.0_72.
