Hi Kevin, sorry for the offtopic, but as you just mentioned JDK 10, could you please tell us what is planned for that release? Something from the high level? New/missing features, controls, huge bugfixes? Googling "javafx road map" or "javafx jdk10" gives no results and looking through https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/projects/JDK/versions/16302 is quite time-consuming.
