News and Events

New Into the Box Dates Announced - Almost 100% finalized
Ortus Solutions is happy to announce we have new finalized dates for Into the Box 2022 and the venue. Into the Box 2022 will be hosted in Houston Texas, Tuesday September 6th through Thursday September 8th, 2022. The conference will be at a new venue, the Houston CityPlace Marriott at Springwoods Village.
Adobe semi officially announced their dates (still un-official at the time of writing this post) and they were close, back to back weeks at the end of September/October. We felt like the ColdFusion community deserves more in person conferences, ColdFusion Community members need the opportunity to speak and or attend more in person coldfusion conferences. If we left the conferences back to back with only a travel day/weekend in between, it would have been hard for many if not most coldfusion community members to attend both.
By changing the dates, it might still be hard or impossible for a lot of speakers, sponsors, and community members, but now those percentages have increased, and both conferences will be more successful, and that will help the community be more successful... and at the end of the day, we all win if ColdFusion wins.

Since we moved dates for ITB 2022 - We’re extending the Call for Speaker Deadline - April 30, 2022
Since we had to make changes to the schedule, we wanted to make sure every community member had the opportunity to submit their proposal.
Into the Box will be live in Houston in September 2022.

Lucee 5.3.9.131-Snapshot Installers released - Stable release coming today!
So we solved the last blocker for the 5.3.9 release, stable release tomorrow!
Here are the preview installers, they bundle
Apache Tomcat/9.0.62
Java 11.0.15 (Eclipse Adoptium) 64bit
BonCode 1.0.42
Notes: 
Java 17 is still not fully working, but Lucee will start instead of crashing on startup.
Users with M1 Macs should now be able to use a native ARM JVM.

New Beta for the S3 Lucee Extension 2.0.0.71 (awslib) 
We had been using the older, no longer maintained jets3t library, but it’s no longer maintained and was causing a range of minor problems which led us to decided to switch over to the the AWS S3 java library.
Those problems being
large multipart uploads failing sometimes
occasional OSGI issues with the jets3t properties file
Basically as an end user, there is no functional difference between the 0.9.154 and 2.0.0.71 versions, in our testing the new version is a bit faster, especially with file deletion.

Online ColdFusion Meetup - "Updating the Java underlying ColdFusion", with Charlie Arehart
Thursday, April 28, 2022
9:00 AM to 10:00 AM PDT
With Java updates happening about quarterly (and one just last week), it's important that ColdFusion administrators and/or developers keep up to date on the Java version which underlies their CF (or Lucee) deployments. While the simplest question may seem to be "how do I do such an update, effectively" (and it really can be quite simple), there's a good bit more to updating the Java (aka jvm, jdk, jre) which underlies your CFML engine.

In this session, veteran troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will share his experience helping people deal with this topic for many years, including:

Considering, planning the jvm update (what jvm do you have, what can you update to, why should you?)
Performing the jvm update (where to get it, how to install it, how to configure CF to use it)
Avoiding various potential gotchas when updating the JVM
How to be made aware of new JVM versions
Whether you use CF or Lucee, deployed traditionally or via Commandbox (or even containers), most of the discussion will apply to you.
