> I just don't get Adobe at all. I'm so disappointed in them. The tone of the announcement blog entry pretty much sums it up... the new features don't excite me. They list mobile development, language enhancements, new PDF engine, and security enhancements as the big new features. The mobile integration is arguably the "big" feature for this release. I suppose that will be useful for some people.
The big tell, though, is the specific mention of Java 7 Update 55. They mention it's a big important release for Java 7, but it's not included in the initial installers because they're working out some installer integration bug (presumably with Oracle), so Update 51 is included for now and they'll update the installers later. Likewise, "The Linux support for the new PDF engine in ColdFusion 11 will be available through an update within the next few weeks." By word count, they actually spend more time talking about what isn't actually in the release yet (Java Update 55 and The Linux PDF update) and that the CF10 / CFB2 installers will only be available for another couple of weeks. It feels like the ColdFusion team just flat ran out of time; that not everything was ready but they had a hard deadline and had to ship regardless. I'm glad Adobe is continuing to support the product, but I've never felt so "meh" about a release (and I've been using CF since version 4). -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358462 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
