As a reminder, JavaFX 24 RDP1 starts tomorrow, January 16th. I will fork
the 'jfx24' branch at 16:00 UTC.

As a reminder, Rampdown Phase 1 (RDP1) for JavaFX 24 starts on
Thursday, January 16, 2025 at 16:00 UTC (08:00 US/Pacific time). Given
the upcoming holidays, that's a little over 2 working weeks from now.
During rampdown of JavaFX 24, the "master" branch of the jfx repo will
be open for JavaFX 25 fixes.
Please allow sufficient time for any feature that needs a CSR. New
features should be far enough along in the review process that you can
finalize the CSR no later than Thursday, January 9, or it is likely to
miss the window for this release, in which case it can be targeted for
JavaFX 25.
We will follow the same process as in previous releases for getting
fixes into JavaFX 24 during rampdown. I'll send a message with
detailed information when we fork, but candidates for fixing during
RDP1 are P1-P3 bugs (as long as they are not risky) and test or doc
bugs of any priority. Some small enhancements might be considered
during RDP1, but they require explicit approval; the bar will be high
for such requests.

Here is the proposed schedule for JavaFX 24:
RDP1: Jan 16, 2025 (aka “feature freeze”)
RDP2: Feb 6, 2025
Freeze: Feb 27, 2025
GA: Mar 18, 2025
We plan to fork a jfx24 stabilization branch at RDP1.
The start of RDP1, the start of RDP2, and the code freeze will be
16:00 UTC on the respective dates.
This schedule moves the RDP1 and RDP2 start dates back one week to
better avoid running into the holidays like we usually do. This will
give one extra week before RDP1 starts and one less week during RDP2
(we historically have few fixes coming in during RDP2). We intend to
use this as the new formula for computing the release schedule going
forward.
Please let Johan or me know if you have any questions.
