I find no mention of it here, so I thought it a good post to share.The 2021 guide is about 9 pages longer than the 2018 version. The new version covers security-related aspects of new features in CF2021, such as CF package management (cfpm), as well as security-related aspects of new features in the CF Administrator, and some modest additions to coverage of security-related aspects in the Performance Monitoring Toolset (PMT) and the CF Api Manager.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/04/coldfusion-2021-lockdown-guide-available/ Mid-Michigan CFUG - Embracing the Jamstack with Ray CamdenTuesday, April 13 at 7:00 pmWe are going virtualMeeting URL:  https://bit.ly/3dGHjgE http://www.mmcfug.org/ VS Code Live Stream - VS Code Notebooks: A Deep DiveThursday 15th at 8am PSTVS Code is adding Notebooks as a core concept in the API, on top of which extensions like the Jupyter Notebook are being built.
