+	<p>OpenJFX is an open source, next generation client
+	  application platform for desktop and embedded systems
+	  based on JavaSE.  This quarter, the OpenJFX port was
+	  reworked and has some significant improvements.</p>
+
+	<p>More modules are being built.  With the new web module we
+	  gain support for applications that have their own builtin
+	  web browser like e.g.  AsciidocFX.  The new media module
+	  allows JavaFX applications to playback audio and video
+	  files.</p>
+
+	<p>A port of the JavaFX scenebuilder, a RAD tool for
+	  building JavaFX scenes, was added to the ports tree.</p>
+
+	<p>The OpenGL Prism backend for GPU acceleration was enabled
+	  by default.</p>
+
+	<p>From a mainainer's and contributor's perspective, the
+	  port was simplified by moving all &os;-local patches to
+	  the ports tree and fetching the upstream sources directly
+	  instead of using a separate repository for them.</p>
