binjr v3.22.0 is now available!

There is now an option to further refine the behaviour of empty tab panes, introduced in the previous release.
This release also addresses a couple of bugs and brings all dependencies up to date (including #OpenJDK 24).

Full changelog and download links at https://binjr.eu

I talked with @hansolo_ about his #JavaFX libraries, but I also learned more about SVGs and the garbage collectors in the #JVM, thanks to the fantastic visualizations he creates with... JavaFX, of course. ;-)

Our maintainer @koppor did a talk at #DANTE2025 (a #TeXLaTeX conference) about #JabRef
The key topic was the development process and how users can participate in testing and providing feedback etc.

You can find the slides (German only) here: https://www.dante.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Oliver_Kopp-JabRef.pdf

PS: We recently upgraded to #javafx 24 as well.

I always forget how to create a #JavaFX ComboBox and configure it to show a specific field of an object in the ComboBox's opened and closed states. So, I wrote a tutorial, hoping my future self will remember that I blogged about it the next time I need this functionality.

Who said you can't write your own rich text editor from scratch in #JavaFx. I made it for my side project. Now it will be even easier for others, because JavaFx24 already has an experimental component that handles this.

It took me several months (after day job) to create the first version. It is not a WebView or RichTextFx, I had to take care of everything from the scratch (how the caret should blink, how to navigate between characters using the keyboard, how the undo/redo action should be implemented). Even though it was almost a year ago, this is the part of my project that I am most proud of.

It may still have some issues, but you can check out how it works at http://keepmark.io/.
