Today we released an update for the JavaFX 1.0 platform. This update is now included as part of the JavaFX downloads.
JavaFX 1.0 SDK Update 1 provides the following enhancements:
- This release contains performance enhancements that enable smoother
playback of large video files on both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows
platforms. It contains functional changes that enable video to be
played as it progressively downloads from a remote server through HTTP
requests.
- Progressive downloading is now enabled for WMV, FLV, and FXM video
files on the Microsoft platform. The video startup time on the
Microsoft Windows platform has been improved in this release.
- Forward-seeking is now enabled for FLV and FXM files on both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, when seeking within the currently downloaded buffer. Seeking beyond the buffer is not currently supported.
Release notes for the update are available here. You can see the video enhancements in action here.
We've also released a new tutorial - Deploy A Rich Internet Application Developed With JavaFX Technology on javafx.com. This tutorial guides readers through the different options for deploying JavaFX applications as Java Web Start (JNLP), Java applet, or stand-alone applications on the desktop, in a browser, or using the JavaFX Mobile Emulator.
No update for NetBeans FX Plug-In?

Consider that JavaFX is currently a separate technology from Java Core, it will be helpful if the JavaFX has its own official version until it is merged into the Java7 core (though I yet to know how versioning is done in Modular Java) ?
Currently when one type
"javafx -version" or "javafxc -version"
The following is shown
=======================
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode, sharing)
=======================
There is no version info on JavaFX.
Suggestion
==============
can JavaFX 1.0 SDK Update 1 be known as JavaFX u1 (similar to JavaSE 6uXX for easy referencing in article, post.)
when type "javafx -version", show
javafx version as well
eg javafx version "1.0_1" (if follow the pattern of Java SE 6u10)
At least, standardization will help to reduce confusion and inconsistency.
UseCase
==========
It will be helpful if the JavaFX's version can be easily through identified through its JavaFx and Javafxc command using -version option (as in Java currently). Currently there is no way to tell what version of JavaFX is installed. Having a version can help troubleshooting, identify JavaFX issue, faciliate support and automate script that depend on JavaFX version.
Place JavaFX blog link in footer
================================
By the way, if a JavaFX blog link can be located in the footer rather than in the moving ticker in JavaFX home page, it will be much quicker to access.

How do I update if I already have the plugin running in Netbeans? The plugin manager thingy doesn't indicate that an update is available.

The things I fear in a program are, in no special order I/O, excessive object creation (which is very costly in itself and leads later to excessive garbage collection), excessive String manipulation (which is really a form of excessive object creation), long running processes in the EDT and excessive use of reflection.
