ColdFusion 8: First Update in Two Years
By Jeff Feinman

July 31, 2007 — Adobe Systems is offering a way for developers to cool down with the announcement yesterday of the general availability of ColdFusion 8, a tool for building dynamic Web sites and Internet applications. It is the first update of the tool in two years.

ColdFusion 8 Server Monitor, a new addition, lets developers identify bottlenecks and have a sense of memory usage and database query caching. The new monitoring capabilities allow developers to identify slow requests and which objects within a page are performing poorly.

ColdFusion’s self-titled markup language has been tweaked in order to be more in line with current Web development needs. “With a 12-year-old product, we want to make sure the language continues to meet the needs of developers,” said Tim Buntel, senior product marketing manager for ColdFusion.

ColdFusion 8 allows developers to integrate ColdFusion applications with other Adobe technologies such as Flex, PDF, Adobe Integrated Runtime and Adobe LiveCycle. The new version supports .NET, Windows Vista and JBoss integration. It also uses AJAX-based components to design and deploy applications.

Adobe officials said that since May, more than 14,000 developers have participated in the ColdFusion 8 public beta.
