Every year, Teratech offers an online “State of the CF Union” Survey. The one for 2021 has been open for several weeks and will be for a while longer (no date listed). It’s comprised of several questions about what CF engines, versions, and related apps and tools you may use, as well as a few more general topics. The results are also offered online and are updating as people complete the survey. (You can also view the see in advance […]
Originally posted July 13, 2021; updated May 3, 2023 (slight rewording, and adding mention of VSCode version of CFBuilder) Here’s news that will interest some: the Adobe ColdFusion Security Code Analyzer tool now works with even the free Developer edition or Standard edition/license, as of CF2021. Prior to CF2021, it worked only with CF’s Enterprise license or Trial edition (2018 and 2016), and specifically NOT with a Standard license or the free Developer edition. Whether you may be currently using […]
Have you perhaps tried to download ColdFusion from the Adobe site, only to find after you fill out the CF dev/trial download form that the download would not start? You’re just left at a page which offers no other means to download (Adobe could and should fix that by offering links on that page in case this could happen). Or perhaps you’ve tried to file a bug report at the Adobe Tracker site, only to find that the bug report […]
I’d like to make a proposal, and I wonder what others think. Let me expand on the title here. Background If you’ve used CF’s query caching features, you almost surely know that when you run a query (or stored proc call) that uses cachedwithin or cachedafter, there will be a “cached” indicator in the resulting query metadata (if you dump it), or the debug output (if you’ve enabled it), or the RESULT struct (if you named one for the query). […]

[Originally posted June 18 2021, updated July 13 2021] Here’s some news that may surprise and delight those interested in using the Adobe CF Docker images, which I just learned yesterday and today: First, you can now pull the Adobe CF images from Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR), including both the CF2021 image and 2018, as well as the add-on and PMT images for CF2021. These are official Adobe images, to be clear. A simple example–that works today–and will give you the CF2021 […]

A quick update on the status of our support for Azul JDK: Our planned roll out of ColdFusion support of the Azul Zulu OpenJDK (including new CF installers) has been put on hold. We will continue for now with our regular update cycles, supporting the Oracle JVM (JDK or JRE). We expect to provide further updates on Java support changes by December 2021. Below was the original text of this post, now stricken out, but left to provide context. To […]
Did you know that CF2021 and CF2018 now “properly” handle serializing to json strings with the quoted values of “yes” and “no”, leaving them as strings rather than converting them to booleans true and false? And did you know that if you are on CF2016 (which does convert them), you can solve that with just a couple of lines of code? And that same solution can be used if you are on CF2018 or above and do WANT a string […]
