Year-End Development Update: Announcing Lucee 5.3.4.73 (Release Candidate 2) and Final 2019 Sprint
First, as you’ve probably noticed, this has been an especially long Release Candidate period since we shipped 5.3.4.54 (RC). This was due in part to typical annual demands of the CFCamp conference in Germany, for which we spent some significant time working on the roadmap for the next major and minor versions of Lucee, creating some test builds for demo purposes, etc. But more importantly, it’s also due to an uptick in regressions over the past two releases (5.3.3.62 (final) 5.3.4.54 (RC)). We spent a lot more time than anticipated working with ticket reporters, identifying regression sources, and of course discussing/debating then implementing and testing fixes.

Online #ColdFusion Meetup - "Please pass the salt: Serve up passwords w/ a side of entropy", with Brad Wood
Thursday Dec 12 at 12pm EST
Passwords are like opinions, everyone has them and some are easier to figure out than others. As application developers and DBAs, our users entrust us with the precious keys to their social media, E-mails, bank accounts, and shopping history. Hopefully everyone has figured out storing your passwords in plain text is really bad, but is a simple hash good enough?

Webinar - ColdFusion for the Next Decade – All about the Buzzworthy ColdFusion 2020

January 16th, 2020 - Presented by Rakshith Naresh - Product Manager for ColdFusion and Captivate Prime Content Catalog
One of the reasons for ColdFusion’s success right from its inception is that the platform has been able to pivot at regular intervals to remain relevant for the future. There are very few technologies that have managed to stay in the game for so long and that is something all of us in the community are proud of. ColdFusion 2020, slated to be released next year, is going one such pivotal release in the history of ColdFusion. The vision for ColdFusion 2020 goes like this:
“To be the modernized platform of choice for building cloud-native microservice applications with absolute focus on ease of use without getting locked to a particular cloud vendor (multi-cloud).”
Attend this session as the Product Manager for ColdFusion unravels every piece of ColdFusion 2020 that leads to the overarching vision.
