Version 0.11.0 has just been released! You can download it directly from Bintray’s JCenter and/or Maven Central. This version delivers the following changes:

• Bulk window operations added to DekstopPane and InternalWindow.
• A richer set of InternalWindowEvent values.
• Ability to register explicit InternalWindowEvent event handlers on InternalWindow.

Bulk operations include the following ones:

• minimizeAllWindows
• minimizeOtherWindows
• maximizeAllWindows
• maximizeVisibleWindows
• restoreMinimizedWindows
• restoreVisibleWindows
• closeAllWindows
• closeOtherWindows
• tileAllWindows
• tileVisibleWindows
• tileHorizontally
• tileVertically

These operations are available as direct method calls on DesktopPane. All of them except for the tiling ones are also available when popping a contextual menu on the title bar of an InternalWindow. Events triggered by internal windows closely follow those triggered by regular windows

• WINDOW_SHOWING
• WINDOW_SHOWN
• WINDOW_HIDING
• WINDOW_HIDDEN
• WINDOW_CLOSE_REQUEST

While at the same time additional events were added such as

• WINDOW_MINIMIZING
• WINDOW_MINIMIZED
• WINDOW_MAXIMIZING
• WINDOW_MAXIMIZED
• WINDOW_RESTORING
• WINDOW_RESTORED
• WINDOW_DETACHING
• WINDOW_DETACHED
• WINDOW_ATTACHING
• WINDOW_ATTACHED

The default event handling mechanism is still in place but you can also register specific event handlers using the following methods

• setOnAttached(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnAttaching(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnCloseRequest(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnDetached(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnDetaching(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnHidden(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnHiding(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnMaximized(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnMaximizing(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnMinimized(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnMinimizing(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnRestored(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnRestoring(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnShowing(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)
• setOnShown(EventHandler<InternalWindowEvent> value)

Lastly, here's a short video of some of these new features in action
