Adobe CF Builder release - update

From Mark on Slack

I know I sound like a broken record, but it is really close. I've had 2 long demos of it this week, with one more left. It looks really, really good. I'm using the latest build for all my demos, and its like... right there. There's like, one dumb bug that's probably already been fixed. Look for at least one deep dive engineering talk about VS Code during Developer Week (and I'm pushing for 2 talks because, frankly, an hour isn't enough time to cover everything this tool does). I'm trying so hard not to oversell it here, but I honestly think this is going to become the number 1 CFML IDE tool everyone uses.

ICYMI - Adobe CF Engine Updates are in CommandBox now

Adobe CF engines 2018.0.14+330003 and 2021.0.04+330004 are now available on ForgeBox for your usage.  When started on CommandBox 5.5, ACF 2021 is finally free of Log4j 1.x.  ACF 2018 seems to still be using Log4j 1.x however.

ICYMI - CFWheels 2.3.0 Stable Released

This is the official v2.3.0 release. It is dropping a little over a week from Release Candidate 1. We simply wanted to make sure the new CI/CD workflow was functioning before calling the release final. We feel confident that we’re good to mark this release as final. There are no new enhancements or bug fixes in this release from 2.3.0.rc.1.
