TornadoFX 1.6.2 has been released, along with the maven quickstart archetype and the IDEA plugin.

It's already in Maven Central 🙂

You know what, Edvin? The guide is awesome, but I seem to miss all these features somehow. How about introducing some for of topic index for higher level functions? Like, "layout", "config" etc? There's so much info you can't see the forest for all the trees....

@permalmberg This is where I need help 🙂

I think I wrote about this though, hang on.

It's in the Wiki, moving it to the guide now: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/wiki/Config

oh, its in the wiki

@ron Maybe you'd like to contribute a chapter on the Preferences? It's yours after all! hehe

I've (wrongly?) assumed it was outdated in favor of the git book...

@permalmberg I haven't ported everything yet, but this was a nice kick in the butt.

Important note We gradually migrate all content to the Guide. In fact, most of it is already there, but we will keep the Wiki in it's current form until the migration is complete. Then the Wiki will turn into a Cookbook with small, targeted examples. New content is only added to the guide, but we'll try to provide links to the new chapters here

@edvin I will write it

@ron Thank you!

In fact, this is the best way you can all contribute right now - identify what's missing and either write it or let me know. Let's make the docs great again! hehe

Until it is ported, how about a note at the front page of the book to make people aware of the wiki?

The docs used to be so complete and nice.. until we started adding features every other day.

yeah, shame on you @edvin 🙂

@permalmberg I think I'll just port everything now. Instead of writing new stuff, I will port until it's all there.

@ron I'm adding a chapter for config settings and will start it with the stuff from the wiki about the

config

object. Then you could add Preferences to that same chapter. Does that sound ok?

Yes

@edvin It is rare to see the level of enthusiasm and dedication with which you (and others too!) drive this project forward. Although I'm just scratching on the surface I can see and appreciate the effort that has been put into it.

@permalmberg Thank you. What keeps me motivated is you guys. It would be impossible to do this without your feedback and appreciation. I've gotten so much help and contributions from people who started out as mere users, but now provide invaluable help and direction here on Slack and in the issues on GitHub. @thomasnield, @Ruckus and @hastebrot really helped kickstart the mainstream approach of this project, while @carlw and @ron have provided invaluable suggestions and feedback. Now @gtnarg and @ron have started writing more code, and @jchildress, yourself and others give so much energy and feedback - makes me feel like we have a small but fantastic community around the project. Sorry if I forgot someone important here, so many people have become instrumental to the success of this project.

@edvin I know the feeling - I've been exactly where you are now. Having a living community for a product/project into which you have put a lot of effort is extremely really rewarding.

You should all feel proud 🙂

Getting recognition from JavaFX heavy hitters and even JetBrains, with the mention of TornadoFX in the Kotlin in Action book has also been pretty heart warming, and helps validate the project.

@ron I've added a config chapter to the guide: https://edvin.gitbooks.io/tornadofx-guide/content/18.%20Config%20Settings%20and%20State.html

If anybody wants write access to the guide, please let me know. That's the absolute best way to contribute right now!

checkmenuitem("_Live components")
{
    isSelected = true
}

Is it only me that think

isSelected

should have been named

isChecked

?

I agree, but this is part of JavaFX and will never be changed 🙂

yeah...just a random reflection 🙂
