Since 2004, when GEF 3.0 was released, only compatible changes have been applied to the framework's application programming interface (API). A new major revision of the framework, GEF 4.0, has been developed in parallel to the maintenance of the GEF 3.x code base by the project team since 2010. It is a complete redesign that is much more modular (consisting of 9 components), uses JavaFX instead of SWT as underlying rendering framework, and can be used also independent of the Eclipse RCP platform. Commonly referred to as GEF4, it was initially released in version 0.1.0 (with still provisional API) in June 2015 with the Eclipse Mars release.
