Nothing has been deprecated in CF since the transition from 5 to 6.1. That means that the jump from 4.5 to 7 is just as big as the one from 4.5 to 8.
That said; we are currently in the middle of transitioning all our CF code from 5 to 6.1. We decided to jump to 6.1 first since 7 didn't have any features we desperately needed, and thus held no real advantage over 6.1. Might as well keep the number of variables you're dealing with to a minimum, right? I have heard rumors that 8 will have significant performance gains over 6.1 and 7, so that may be worth considering. If the timing of our project would have been a bit later, I might have argued to jump from 5 to 8. Nate -- Nathan Wells Web Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] DTN DTN. FARM SMARTER. www.dtn.com -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 9:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Migrating Ancient CF Code Third Try I started a new position with the State of California Monday. The first task that was discussed for me was migrating some very old, version 4.5 CF code running on NT 4 servers to modern (and hopefully more stable) servers running modern CF. The question was asked is there any reason not to just jump to CF 8 when it is official - I presume in a few weeks, rather then first to 7 then 8. This department currently has NO CFMX code running. My feeling was that there should be little or no difference migrating the code to 8 rather then 7, but my supervisor wanted me to get some other opinions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| CF 8 â Scorpio beta now available, easily build great internet experiences â Try it now on Labs http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_adobecf8_beta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:281602 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
