Your needs are almost surely different from ours...however...in case it's helpful, my boss asked me to order these from "most important" (for us) through "least important" (for us): 1. Security enhancements - Limit the attack surface by restricting default remote access to the admin portal. Control access to resources by creating multiple sandboxes across directories. Make your server more secure against click-jacking and cross-site scripting using new functions to sanitize user input. 2. New Client-side database integration - Work more productively by not having to attach any callback handler when accessing databases. Now take advantage of the powerful CFQUERY tag to access client-side databases directly using SQL. 3. Language enhancements - Maintain and modify existing code faster and more easily with member functions on ColdFusion objects. Leverage enhanced JSON data conversion to identify the data types of JSON objects. Use the new QueryExecute function to easily handle database queries from within CFSCRIPT. 4. Tight integration with Adobe ColdFusion Builder - Enhance your development experience with integrated server management and expanded functionality through CFML extensions using ColdFusion Builder. Accelerate the development of mobile applications using features such as device detection, on-device debugging, multidevice inspection, and more. 5. Web services support - Publish and access web services with less code using the revamped engine that supports the WSDL 2.0 specification, SOAP 1.2, and document literal wrapped style. 6. Dynamic and interactive HTML5 charting - Implement a large repository of HTML5 charts using the built-in CFCHART tag. Easily create dynamic, data-heavy charts with an all-new server-side charting engine. Show data in a wide range of interactive formats with features such as zoom-in to help consumers get a granular view of information. 7. Rich Ajax UI controls - Build more compelling and intuitive applications with a broad set of Ajax controls via CFML tags and attributes. Easily bind client-side Ajax applications to ColdFusion components on the server. 8. Improved Microsoft Office file interoperability - Leverage additional functionalities, such as page break and auto filter, to manage spreadsheets better. Generate PDF files from PowerPoint and Word files. Produce HTML or SWF files from PowerPoint presentations. Take advantage of several performance enhancements to work faster with Microsoft Office 2010 files. 9. New Full CFSCRIPT support - Work more productively with complete scripting support for CFSCRIPT. Develop applications faster and more easily by accessing every ColdFusion 11 functionality using CFSCRIPT. 10. New Custom tag framework for UI development - Extend the functionality of ColdFusion by using the popular server-side custom tag framework on the client side. Reuse and distribute UI components to speed up development and reduce the testing effort. 11. New CFML-based mobile app development - Get a head start in the fast-growing market for mobile apps. Leverage your existing CFML skills to develop mobile apps and use built-in integration with Adobe PhoneGap Build to easily and quickly deliver them as installed apps that run on iOS and Android devices. 12. New On-device debugging - Use unique on-device debugging capabilities to identify and fix errors in installed apps as well as browser-based mobile applications. Remotely connect a mobile device to ColdFusion Builder and simulate actual usage on the device by stepping through application code. 13. New Multidevice inspection - Inspect the look and feel of both mobile and web applications on multiple devices using the built-in Weinre server. Modify the properties of elements using ColdFusion Builder, and see the changes take effect in real time in the mobile app. 14. New Device detection - Easily identify the type of device, its dimensions, group name, description, orientation, and features at runtime without needing any plug-ins. Leverage this information to deliver differentiated content for the device and enhance the user experience. 15. New Native device APIs - Use ColdFusion device APIs to easily integrate device functionalities, such as working with contacts, handling files, retrieving geo-location information, recording and playing back audio and video files, and accessing camera features, accelerometer, and storage. 16. New Enhanced server-side access - Work more productively by directly creating instances of ColdFusion components on mobile applications. Easily access server-side logic without creating a proxy or passing complex URLs. 17. New HTML to PDF conversion - Use the improved conversion engine from Adobe to generate superior quality PDF files from HTML pages. The engine parses the CSS and applies its settings to ensure that the content in the PDF file appears and functions as it does in the web browser, retaining its formatting, layout, and hyperlinks. 18. New Improved PDF handling - Work efficiently with PDF files and reduce the required code by directly adding images, watermarks, headers, and footers to your documents. Leverage new archiving capabilities to enable preservation of electronic files as long-term self-contained documents of record. 19. Support for RESTful web services - Easily publish your ColdFusion component as a Representational State Transfer (REST) web service with built-in support for all HTTP methods. Use customizable JSON and XML serialization and de-serialization to manipulate data. 20. New Social plug-in integration - Easily add elements to your web application to facilitate social interactions, generate buzz, and increase engagement. Use the CF_SOCIALPLUGIN to implement social plug-ins, such as a Like button, Tweet button, and Comment box. 21. New Social login support - Now speed up development by doing away with the hassle of implementing a login mechanism from scratch. Easily allow your end users to access your web application with their existing social media accounts. Just use the CFOAUTH tag to let users log in with their Facebook, Google, or Twitter identities. 22. Secure and scalable HTML5 web sockets - Extend the power of HTML5 web sockets to public-facing web applications with real-time server response. Publish data more securely over Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Increase the size and capacity of operations without increasing overheads by scaling web socket applications across multiple nodes in the cluster.
