The scoop is CFMX only -- the COAPI relies on CFCs. OS: Win2k+ only at this time -- though several people have put there hands up already to iron the niggles out of a *nix release.
Databases: The open source version supports SQL7+ for now (but we're currently distilling both Oracle and mySQL implementations into the open source code base from previous deployments). We've already made a kind of beta release this week -- we're trying to get feedback on the installer (win2K/WinXP). A cleaner version of the code base will be out next week -- and I suspect we'll have a fairly rapid succession of releases until we settle down to a more leisurely release cycle.
