This is a final reminder that JavaFX 14 enters rampdown phase one (RDP1)
on January 9, 2020 at 23:59 Pacific time.
Any change integrated to the default 'master' branch after that will be
for JavaFX 15. I will fork a new 'jfx14' stabilization branch early
Friday morning (Pacific time). As with previous releases, P1-P3 bug
fixes, and test or documentation fixes of any priority can still get
into JavaFX 14 during RDP1. I'll send out more details Friday morning.

The announced RDP1 date is the first Monday of the new year. In taking
a closer look at the upcoming holiday schedule and accounting for
additional days off some will be taking before or after, this doesn't
allow enough time for the final stages of the review process to
complete, including CSR approval. It is quite possible that an
enhancement with a mostly-completed review and a CSR that is Finalized
this Thursday or Friday (Dec 19 or 20), won't be approved in time for
integration.
To address this, we are delaying RDP1 by three days. The new RDP1 date
is:
Thursday, Jan 9, 23:59 PST
The dates for RDP2, code freeze, and GA are unchanged.
Please be aware that this three-day extension isn't an invitation to
try to get additional features into 14 at the last minute, but rather
an adjustment to better align with the holiday schedule in order to
give the already-in-flight features that are nearing completion a
little more time to make it. It is still the case that if an
enhancement isn't ready (meaning API discussed & approved, code review
mostly done, and CSR finalized) by this Friday, it should be
retargeted to JavaFX 15.

With the holidays approaching, please allow sufficient time for any
feature that needs a CSR. New features should be far enough along in
the review process so you can finalize the CSR before next Friday,
Dec 20, or it is likely to miss the window for this release, in which
case it can be targeted for JavaFX 15.
During rampdown of JavaFX 14, the "master" branch of the jfx repo
will be open for JavaFX 15 fixes.
We will follow the same process as previous releases for getting
fixes into JavaFX 14 during rampdown. I'll send a message with
detailed information later, but generally candidates for fixing after
RDP1 are P1-P3 bugs (as long as they are not risky) and test or doc
bugs of any priority.

Here is the proposed schedule for JavaFX 14.
RDP1: Jan 6, 2020 (aka “feature freeze”)
RDP2: Feb 3, 2020
Freeze: Feb 24, 2020
GA: March 10, 2020
We plan to fork a jfx14 stabilization branch at RDP1. The GA date is
expected to be one week ahead of JDK 14, matching what we did for 13.
Please let Johan or me know if you have any questions.
