News and Events

Hot off the Press - CommandBox 4.8.0 is released

Brad was literally released 4.8.0 right before starting the podcast, it’s so hot the blog post hasn’t even cooled yet.
We're proud to announce the immediate release of CommandBox 4.8.0 which is a minor release, containing a handful of bug fixes, new features, and improvements.

New Stable Release of Lucee and Release Candidate (RC)

The new stable Lucee release 5.3.3.62 has been added to ForgeBox and is now ready for any CommandBox or Docker users to start using in their servers.
The new release candidate of Lucee (5.3.4.54-rc) has also been added to ForgeBox to encourage people to test it. Since it's not a stable release, you'll only get it if you ask for it explicitly:
> server start cfengine=lucee@5.3.4.54-rc
A notable security change in the new Lucee 5.3.4.54-rc release candidate is you can no longer set the initial admin pass from the web. An easy workaround for CommandBox local dev is to couple CFConfig w/ an env var called
cfconfig_adminPassword=myPass
List of all the fixes in 5.3.3.62

New Adobe Forums Released

Brand new, looks like a big improvement. If you’re looking for ColdFusion from the homepage, click Print and Publishing to find it.

Tweet - Kai Koenig - Discussing Adobe not including ColdFusion in their Web Development category for their Forums.
In fact, one might argue the fact that Adobe categories their *web development* platform #ColdFusion as "Print & Publishing" and not as "Web & Design" is a really good indicator for the state of Adobe ColdFusion.
If you're doing #cfml, I'd strongly recommend you use #lucee.

Charlie Arehart has updated on the Lost Content from Adobe Forums

Update 1: well, the cutover didn’t happen until Sep 12, after all. The new forums are at https://community.adobe.com/t5/ColdFusion/bd-p/coldfusion. In there, content created or edited in the forums between Aug 22 and mid-day Sep 9 is indeed missing.
Update 2: but here’s some good news is that I learned after writing this that the CF team had indeed been synching the forums with the portal, so you will find that the portal (this site, where you’re reading this) DOES have copies of the forum threads, even up to mid-today.

Adobe CF Summit - Workshops - Adobe ColdFusion Specialist Certificate Program

From Elishia
People should know that for the Specialist Certificate they will be asked to review about 20 hours of video content in the month of September before the classroom session on September 30th. The in-person workshop will be a review of material and include an exam at the end. Space is limited in all of these, so they should sign up soon.

From the CF Summit Website:
The Adobe ColdFusion Specialist is a full-day certificate classroom program, delivered by top Adobe ColdFusion experts. You will be enrolled into the course as soon as you register and will receive course instructions and prep materials two weeks prior to the on-site program date. Following the training you will complete an online assessment – upon successful completion, you will receive your Adobe ColdFusion Specialist certificate.
