Macromedia has
publically
announced latest release of ColdFusion MX, code-named "Red Sky".
Make sure to check out the
presentation
on their take on what's new. This will be a free update for
CFMX users. Here's a quick overview:
Performance/Stability:
-
Optimized CFML compiler (This supposedly runs in realtime—no
more caching class files to disk. I've also heard it's
blazingly fast—so fast that writing the files to the file
system slowed things down and they just recompile when needed. Supposedly
they could recompile on every request and low trafficked sites
wouldn't notice any issues.)
-
Increased runtime performance and stability
-
Updated JDBC/ODBC database drivers
-
New version of the JVM
Fixes:
-
Faster, more reliable COM integration
-
Improved database error messages
-
Expanded and updated documentation
-
Over 400 customer-identified issues
Updated OS Support:
-
Windows 2003/IIS6
-
Red Hat v7.3, 8, 9
-
SuSE 8
-
Solaris 9
