At a minimum, CommandBox is free and available to people using ColdFusion 11 so there’s that.Īnother big update is the API manager. I can’t say how it compares to CommandBox though which has been available for a while now. The other big update is the addition of a CLI, which is nice too. querySort and queryEach are especially nice additions. It is ridiculous, unprofessional, and something that should have been addressed years ago.įor a better list of language enhancements, check out the New and Changed Functions/Tags page. This may be totally out of the ColdFusion’s team hands-but customers don’t care whose fault it is. If you can’t schedule a product release with documentation then you are failing at doing your job. I also heard from an Adobian that this should be cleared up by the end of the day. The missing item in App.cfc is still missing. You can’t even find the PDFs for the CF2016 docs. I’m assuming this is just a temporary issue.

A new function, valueArray, is documented but not discoverable in the search. In fact, from what I can tell, none of the docs are updated yet. Unfortunately, this feature isn’t mentioned in the docs and as we can’t edit/comment on the docs anymore, hopefully it gets corrected soon.

I’m also happy to see that you can now disable scope search by adding searchImplicitScopes=false to your Application.cfc file. I haven’t typed structNew since was added. Unfortunately, the docs don’t demonstrate how to use these features in short notation. I always thought of structs as inherently unordered, but I understand that adding order/sorts to them are useful in some situations. You can now do both ordered and sorted structs, which I know some folks really want. The 'Safe Navigation' feature can let you simplify your code a bit, but note that the docs for this in the previous link are poorly done. I won’t repeat what’s there as you can read it yourself just fine, but will point out that the specific section on language enhancements may be of interest to developers. You can start off by looking at a broad overview of what’s new in ColdFusion 2016. So, what’s new and should you upgrade? The Good(ish) This also applies to ColdFusion Builder as well. Yep, they switched from a simple version number to a year, which frankly I prefer so I think this is a good change. This morning Adobe released the latest version of ColdFusion, Adobe ColdFusion 2016.
