Hi Felix,
Sorry for the delay. Most of us were still pretty focused on 8u60, but
we are turning our attention to JDK 9 now.
The focus for JDK 9 is Jigsaw. The currently planned big features (JEPs)
for FX in JDK 9 are these:
JEP 253: Prepare JavaFX UI Controls & CSS APIs for Modularization
JEP 257: Update JavaFX/Media to Newer Version of GStreamer
Related to Jigasw, we intend to look into new API for heavily used
internal methods / classes since they will no longer be accessible
otherwise. We also plan to update WebKit at least one more time, and
will likely do a few RFEs such as better Hi-DPI support (with API
control) on Mac, Windows, Linux.
We don't currently plan any other big features for 9, but will consider
additional RFEs if they are important to enough developers and if they
fit into the time frame.

Anyone got anything or is there a link somewhere that talks about these?

I realise we are a long way off JDK 9 still and with crucial features such
as Jigsaw still a little up in the air but is it possible someone could
itemise the most likely new features, enhancements and bug fixes that we
will see in JavaFX when JDK 9 is released?
Of course it's purely speculation at this point but it would assist me
greatly to have some of idea of where JavaFX is heading and which areas are
seen as most important.
Thanks,
Felix
