- The big news from the last week is the release of JavaFX 11. Kevin Rushforth announced this on the openjfx-dev mailing list, and linked to the brand new OpenJFX.io site produced by Gluon. Speaking of Gluon, they also did a JavaFX 11 release announcement and mentioned the availability of the JavaFX long term support offering for companies seeking backports of fixes, etc.

- Oshan Mendis has announced the release of CustomStage v1.3.2, with huge CPU usage optimizations and bug fixes.
- GoXr3plus Studio has published a tutorial and library for drawing audio amplitudes like in SoundCloud with JavaFX. They have also published an updated release of the open source XR3Player.
FX Experience Has Gone Read-Only
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.
