I meant to post this a few days ago when it actually happened, but I'm slacking again. The newest iteration of Adobe's ColdFusion has been released! They went away from their previous numbering scheme: this isn't ColdFusion 12, this is ColdFusion 2016. Interesting. And I'm not sure I like it much. By 2017, we'll already sound out-of-date. Can you imagine what CF2012 (CF10) or CF2014 (CF11) would sound like? And CF10 is still a HUGE part of the ColdFusion landscape. Besides, we really need a more positive impression of ColdFusion.
Anyway, I doubt work will get to this new version any time soon, and I'm kinda glad for that. I can already see a lot of things that will need to be refactored to function correctly. Hopefully some of these issues are on the roadmap to be fixed.
The safe navigation operator (?.) is kinda cool, and a built-in CLI is interesting (though I don't yet know how I'd use it). And moving the default install for CFIDE and the CFAdmin is LONG overdue. Hopefully that will cut down on some of the "security problems" that resulted from bad installations and not locking down servers.
I'll play with this one at home some more when I make some time to get a VM for it up and running again.
