Nothing is final. But you hit the nail on the head, every piece of software
in existence (including the CF apps that us CF developers write) could be
updated and patched and improved. Some updates are vital, some are
insignificant, and the vast majority sit somewhere between those two
extremes. And so judgment calls have to be made, recognizing that while
updates are important, they have a tremendous cost and impact on core
product delivery. And too many incremental updates are disruptive (look at
Microsoft, and how often that annoying automatic update utility kicks in).
It's about balance.
As I already said, critical issues (for example, security holes, or anything
that could crash a server) take top priority, beyond that it's a judgment
call. We have releases a few hot fixes, they may be more, we'll work it out
as is needed. For now, keep us informed of any and all issues, we'll try to
maintain the right balance.

No planned maintenance release anytime soon?
Sigh, that is too bad, I was hoping some of the minor "issues" would be
addressed in CFMX 6.1 soon. But, more than likely this issues that bug
me and my clients are minor enough and affect only a few people I can
understand how they be temporarily ignored.
Has black stone entered Beta testing yet? I should maybe get in that
program and see if I can get some of these issues addressed, if they
have not been yet.

Right now we are aggressively working on Blackstone. That is not to say
that
there'll not be a release between now and then, but I am unaware of any
planned maintenance release at this point. If one becomes critical and
necessary, then I am sure that one will be released (if hot fixes are
not an
option).

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there still bugs and known issues
with 6.1. Are you suggesting that there are no immediate plans to
address these?
Thanks

CFMX 6.2? I don't believe that version numbers and editions have been
discussed at all, actually.
Generally, maintenance releases have been free upgrades (as 6.1 was)
whereas
full product releases have been paid upgrades (and included in
subscriptions, of course).
The next planned version of ColdFusion is codenamed "Blackstone", and
version numbers, pricing, etc., have yet to be discussed at all.
But, and this is my own opinion here, I doubt that there will be another
maintenance release for CFMX any time soon. CFMX needed updates, which
is
why we released service packs and then v6.1, But 6.1 has proven to be
reliable and solid and arguably one of the best ColdFusion's ever, and
so a
maintenance release is unlikely.
Bottom line, use 6.1 now, and stay tuned for announcements from MM.

I am wondering, will CF 6.2 be a free upgrade from 6.1 or will MM want
us to
pay for it? And if $$$ is involved, how much?

"simpler ways to create compelling UIs, "
Does that sound like shiping some sort of cut-down Flex to anyone else
?
In
the same way they implemented cfchart by shipping a cut down version
of
their
own stand alone graphing app ?
"Increasing productivity"
Could be anything !
"new ways for deploying your apps"
As MX is a J2EE system, I hope that means jar/ear/war type stuff :-)
"source code protection."
Intresting. Just a better front end to cfencrypt, or something more
industrial ?
When is pricing etc. info for MAXEurpoe going to be announced ? Is
there
an
annoucements mailing list for it yet ?
