A quick update...

[palexdev]

Hello everyone.
Foremost, I want to thank all the MaterialFX users and supporters, thank you very much, thank you for the donations, I am grateful for the patience, thank you for caring about this project.

Second, I want to apologize for the lack of updates and new versions in the last few months. The last update I posted was on 18 Apr, I showed the new MFXScrollPane and a bunch of new features, the post is here #179.
Since then, I continued working on my projects though, huge changes are incoming:

1. There will be a huge rewrite of VirtualizedFX incoming, which should improve its performance by a lot
2. I intend to modularize MaterialFX. I already started the process as you can see from my profile, there are new repos related to MaterialFX. Yes, I could have done it in one project probably, but screw it, it would have been much, much harder to manage and maintain, so each module is a separate repo and artifact on Maven. There are pros and cons about this choice, obviously. It will be possible to update/improve/add new features to separate modules without having to republish the entire MaterialFX library which is great, many many times I had to update just to add some basic beans or new features that were not related to controls/skins but were rather just for QOL. The bad thing is about that garbage of SceneBuilder. Currently, there is an issue for beginners of MaterialFX, it's pinned SceneBuilder, some controls not showing #129. SceneBuilder doesn't import the dependencies automatically and with this many modules importing MaterialFX will be a cumbersome task, I know, sorry, but it's for the best. (also maybe, just maybe, there will be an alternative to SceneBuilder in the future)
3. I'm currently working on removing one of the oldest piece of code from JFoenix, I'm talking about the smooth scrolling. The old algorithm will be kept though so that if anyone wants to use it on legacy scroll panes will be able to do it. I read a lot and I really mean a lot of articles about momentum/inertia scrolling and in these last days I finally accomplished something that I'd say it's ready for production. I can't show a demo as of now since I'm writing from an old laptop (my good one has broken, and you can't even imagine how sad I'm about it), but I'll post it as soon as I get to my desktop.

That's all for now, again thanks for the support, stay tuned for more updates.
