The software project and company supporting it were fairly clear in why they did this. Redis CEO Rowan Trollope wrote on March 20 that while Redis and volunteers sponsored the bulk of the project's code development, "the majority of Redis’ commercial sales are channeled through the largest cloud service providers, who commoditize Redis’ investments and its open source community." Clarifying a bit, "cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge." https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/04/redis-license-change-and-forking-are-a-mess-that-everybody-can-feel-bad-about/ Vercel Releasing new Pricing July 21st Vercel pricing is going from golden to arm and a leg of gold.

ONCD makes the case that technology manufacturers can prevent entire classes of vulnerabilities from entering the digital ecosystem by adopting memory safe programming languages. ONCD is also encouraging the research community to address the problem of software measurability to enable the development of better diagnostics that measure cybersecurity quality.

For me, feature flags are as transformational as databases—they are as important as both logs and metrics. I cannot imagine creating another product without them. I believe that I have a perspective worth sharing. I want to help people see the magic that I see. I want to help teams deliver value to their customers with love and empathy and without fear. https://featureflagsbook.com/ New Releases and Updates ColdBox Debugger v4.2 - Unleashing a Wave of Debugging Power!

Then there are some options and choices during installation--some new also with CF2021. Perhaps it's been a while since you've installed even previous CF versions. We'll cover some of the key options to consider (including license activation, package/module management, and more) as well as post-install steps including updating CF and the JVM, and migrating in CF Admin settings (including using the new CLI/json admin config tool, cfsetup). https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/298025246/ CFCasts Content Updates https://www.cfcasts.com Recent Releases Coming Soon Conferences and Training ITB 2024 https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/our-into-the-box-2024-venue-and-dates-are-sethttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/into-the-box-2024-the-new-era-of-modernization-tickets-663126347757Save the Date: CFCamp 2024 https://twitter.com/cf_camp/status/1736851753260498946https://twitter.com/cf_camp/status/1736705195927646236https://t.co/YKU4dhuHEOMore conferences Need more conferences, this site has a huge list of conferences for almost any language/community. https://confs.tech/ Blogs, Tweets, and Videos of the Week 12/06/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Generating Pandoc Heading Identifiers In ColdFusion Over on my Feature Flags book website, I'm using my book's Markdown content to generate the HTML for the page.

GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools. GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to REST. In ColdFusion 2023 we are providing a native method of consuming and sending data across GraphQL using GQL. This includes support for fragments, variables, aliases, queries, mutations, subscriptions and more. Also, this talk will go over on why to use Graph QL over REST APIs. https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294631289/ Adobe Upcoming Events Webinar - Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 2023 10:00 AM PDT Online Event Mark Takata https://google-cloud-platform-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ During the Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features webinar, Mark Takata...

News and Announcements Passing the Baton: Lucee 5.4 and Hibernate ORM As of Lucee 5.4.1.8, new Lucee builds will no longer bundle the (Lucee) Hibernate extension. This means that if you rely on Hibernate ORM in your CFML application, you will need to manually bundle the Hibernate extension into your Lucee server. Let's read on for more info. The News First, let's start with the official note from the Lucee 5.4.1.8 Stable Release notes (courtesy of Zac Spitzer): Lucee ORM is no longer being developed or bundled by the Lucee Team, Ortus have forked and taken over the development of ORM for Lucee, see Introducing: The Ortus ORM Extension. It seems that Lucee has made the decision to 1) trim the Lucee installation size by no longer bundling the Hibernate extension with new Lucee installations, and to 2) halt further development on the Lucee Hibernate extension. It is unclear whether "no longer being developed" is referring to new features only, or whether that includes bug fixes and security patches as well. This news means that Micha and the LAS team can focus on the Lucee server platform, bringing you speed and stability, while Ortus provides the Hibernate integration for a powerful database ORM layer. https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/passing-the-baton-lucee-6-and-hibernate-orm New Releases and Updates ColdBox v7.1.0 ColdBox 7.1 introduces several new features that expand the capabilities of the framework and facilitate better development practices: Scheduled Tasks Debugging You can now add a debug argument to your task definitions, and your console will add tons of debugging for your tasks: `task( name : "My Task", debug : true )` toRedirectTo() Matcher You can now use this matcher to test relocations in a nice fluent expectation: `expect( event ).toRedirectTo( "main.index" )` REST on{errorType}Exception() Convention Thanks to our very own Gavin Pickin you can now create exception handlers in your REST Handlers that follow the on{type}Exception() convention and you can listen to specific error type exceptions: `function onTypeMismatchException( event, rc, prc )` https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-710-released TestBox v5.2.0 and v5.3.0 v5.2.0 New Features Faster Performance with Updated MixerUtil TESTBOX-375 Introduces enhancements to the MixerUtil module, resulting in faster performance during dynamic mixins and enhancing the flexibility of your test suites.

News and Announcements Adobe updates back to back to back Updates for vulnerabilities ColdFusion (2023 release) Update 1, 2, and 3 ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 7, 8 and 9 ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 17, 18 and 19 In these updates, we’ve fixed a few security bugs mentioned in the security bulletin, APSB23-40., APSB23-41, and APSB23-47. https://coldfusion.adobe.com/?p=32047 https://coldfusion.adobe.com/?p=32026 https://coldfusion.adobe.com/?p=32007 All updates have been made to CommandBox images on ForgeBox. New Releases and Updates Lucee 5.4.2.17 Stable Release The Lucee team is proud to release our latest Stable Release. This release focusses on bug fixes and making Lucee more secure by default, the big change here is that XML XXE mitigations are now on by default. This release also solves a native QoQ bug. https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-stable-release-5-4-2-17/12828 Lucee 5.4.1.8 Stable Release notes: https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-4-1-8-stable-release/12778 Lucee ZERO, a lighter Lucee Light (Lamba Friendly) Lucee Zero is a new smaller Lucee distribution without the admin or docs bundled. This reduces the jar size by about 2mb and avoids expanding them on install, which makes Lucee initial startup a lot faster, as there is less to deploy. Why an additional distribution? Firstly backwards compat with existing build pipelines, as you can’t build a full install by adding just extensions, the admin simply isn’t there with Lucee Zero. Secondly Lambas have some size limitations, you only have 50MB, when Lucee deploys, the .lco is extracted into lucee-server/patches and then the lucee-admin.lar and lucee-doc.lar are exracted out into lucee-server/context/context, plus inside the original lucee-zero.jar. So this new distribution saves roughly 6MB of disk space, as there ends up being three copies of these two .lar archives on the filesystem once deployed. When I run the local build for extensions, it’s about 6-7s faster (Lucee does deploy slower on windows than linux, so YMMV) https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-zero-a-lighter-lucee-light-lamba-friendly/12749 Webinar / Meetups and Workshops ICYMI - Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group - Intro to ColdFusion 2023 June 23rd, 2023 Adobe ColdFusion 2023 is released today!

There are both more features than most realize, as well as solutions to common problems people can face when running them, and a lot of myths regarding old limitations that have since been lifted. In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with a focus on tools and techniques for solving common problems with them, then showing several ways to create them (yes, even...

But did you know there are in fact several ways to deploy CF (or Lucee), including ways to run CFML without even needing to do that? In this session, veteran CF consultant Charlie Arehart will identify these, starting first with WHY it's useful to have different ways to be able to deploy CF/Lucee and CFML. Then he will discuss and demonstrate those several ways--whether you prefer to run CF on your own machine or another (whether hosted or in the cloud), to include even being able to run CFML WITHOUT need of CF (or Lucee) to be "installed" at all. He will cover such topics as installers (GUI and console-based), silent installation (and updates), Commandbox, WAR file deployment, container-based (Docker/Kubernetes) deployment, serverless deployment, as well as CLI-based execution of CFML, and execution via cffiddle and trycf, among others. Buckle up, buttercup, for a fast tour of this varied landscape.

The 5.4 series bumps the minor version (from 5.3), as we had to update some of the underlying java libraries and extensions as the older versions have CVEs or are no longer maintained. All of the java libraries which have been updated in 6 have also been updated in 5.4, with the exception of hsqldb which in this RC is still 2.7.0 This includes an important performance fix 7 with logging since 5.3.10.120 (fixed in 5.3.10.125) https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-4-0-65-release-candidate/12657 CommandBox Next - Add Rewrite Map feature similar to Apache https://ortussolutions.atlassian.net/browse/COMMANDBOX-1592 CommandBox - Have you say on MariaDB During my refactoring of Runwar/CommandBox I was looking at the little MariaDB4j integration that was built into runwar (added about 7 years ago in 2016). There were never first-class settings for it in CommandBox so you would have had to use the runwar.args setting to activate. It also required you to include the MariaDB4j jars yourself in the classpath. (Note this is separate from the MariaDB CommandBox module 4 Jan Janek made). The settings it supported were: So my question is, does anyone use the built in MariaDB4j integration in Runwar? If I removed it, would anyone care? If I put in first-class settings and documented it, would people use it? Does it sound useful? Worthless? https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/mariadb4j-support-in-commandbox-runwar/9666 ICYMI - Adobe ColdFusion 2023 released!!!!

While it's a new major release number, most of the items listed as new aren't really things that you will "see" as changed in the interface. I don't quite want to call it just "plumbing"--the folks had their reason to regard the new and changed features as warranting the major version number...
