Me again. :) I've had to uninstall CF on three machines and reinstall to get back to the pre-8.0.1 version (with just the pre-existing hotfixes installed). This new update broke a LOT of stuff, and I'm wondering if anybody else has noticed yet.
First, there was the YUI-related issue that I posted about yesterday. That was pretty minor. Next, I was working on a script that I've been dinking with for about a month, that goes through a big directory of image files and checks their pixel size and filesize, and alters them accordingly to save space. The first problem I noticed after doing the update was that if there were more than about 70 files in the directory, JRUN would exit with a strange error (I don't recall the specific one). It had worked just fine prior to this (there are some 20,000 files in the directory I'm testing on). So I made a directory with fifty files and continued fine-tuning things. This is when I noticed the next problem. Half of the files (roughly) were coming up "not found" by the CFImage tag, despite definitely existing. I experimented... was it the ones with spaces in their names? Nope. Was it the ones that were uppercase? Nope. Lowercase? Nope. I could find no rhyme or reason as to why this was happening. It also happened on another site that I run (on another server, which also had the update) -- a message forum that I wrote. People who were uploading photos to their profiles were suddenly unable to do so. I saw lots of errors thrown due to "file not found" when the file clearly was there. Finally I figured the best move was to roll back to pre-8.0.1. So I uninstalled/reinstalled since Adobe didn't give us an Uninstall option. Since that time, everything has gone back to normal and is working just fine. Oh, I did go through the release notes very carefully to see if there was anything mentioned that might tell why these problems started, but there was nothing. So as of right now I'm advising everybody I know to NOT apply the 8.0.1 update.
