ColdFusion 8.0.1 Released With New Features!



What's new you say? Well for starters we now have 64-bit support! AJAX libraries have been updated such as Ext to 1.1.1, Spry to 1.6 and YUI to 2.3. The <cftextarea> tag's rich text editor (using FCKEditor) now upgraded to 2.5. Not to mention some of the features that the CF team couldn't get into the initial release but we finally have.

1. Support for nested inline array and struct creation. You can now do the following:

<cfset myNestedArray = [ {version = "8.0.1"}, [1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9] ]>

2. Support for mixing attributeCollection and individual tag attributes with the latter replacing any occurrences in the former. So we can now do the following:

<cfquery attributeCollection="#queryProperties#" result="resultStatus">
...
</cfquery>

I definitely suggest checking out the release notes as the updater includes several bug fixes and a lot more specifics on what tags and other areas have been touched up. They also cover known issues with the updater that may affect you. A great release by the CF team with much appreciated features!

WizTools.org RESTClient 2.1 Released, Lauds Yours Truly
