# JavaFX 23 Highlights | ||
|
||
JavaFX version 23 has been released. We've tailored down some of the most exciting parts of the release in this document. | ||
|
||
### 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](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/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](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/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](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8313138) for more information. | ||
|
||
Exciting features: | ||
- New APIs: | ||
- Labeled control now has `textTruncated` property which indicates when the text is visually truncated in order to fit the available width | ||
|
||
- New Features: | ||
- CSS Transition support in JavaFX, making it easy to define animated transitions for creating rich and fluid user experiences | ||
- Support "@3x" and greater high-density image naming convention | ||
- Add support for EXT-X-MEDIA tag in HTTP Live Streaming | ||
|
||
Improvements: | ||
- JavaFX CSS has been receiving multiple performance improvements. | ||
In JavaFX 22 highlights, we talked about performance improvements for css rendering. | ||
JavaFX 23 has performance improvements for CSS selector matching | ||
|
||
The community came together to fix 81 bugs in the last 6 months. Following are major bug-fixes that went into JavaFX 23: | ||
|
||
- Fix for scrolling failure on a touch enabled display on Wayland | ||
- Fix for ConcurrentModificationException in MediaPlayer which can lead to application crashes or unexpected behavior in media application | ||
- Fix HLS video stream to render consistently | ||
- Fix for `KeyEvent.getCode()` is `null` inside JFXPanel, affecting Swing/JavaFX integration | ||
|
||
Finally, these are some dependency upgrades in JavaFX 23: | ||
- Upgraded WebKit to 617.1 | ||
- Upgraded ICU4C to 74.2 | ||
- Upgraded SQLite to 3.45.3 | ||
- Upgraded libxml2 to 2.12.7 | ||
|
