Apparently, as of Update 5, there is now a ColdFusion 2018 Application setting - useJavaAsRegexEngine - that tells the CFML runtime to use Java's Regular Expression engine when executing built-in functions like reFind(), reMatch(), and reReplace(). While the default POSIX pattern matching engine is pretty great, it's less robust and less powerful than the Java pattern matching engine. As such, this will be a much welcome change to the Adobe ColdFusion community.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3829-application-setting-usejavaasregexengine-tells-cfml-to-use-javas-regex-engine-for-built-in-re-functions-in-adobe-coldfusion-2018.htmBlog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - ColdBox 6 RC Released!We are so excited to bring you the first public Release Candidate of the next generation of ColdBox HMVC , version 6.0.0-RC.

Enjoy!https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-6-rc-releasedBlog - Ben Nadel - The canonicalize() Function Will Decode Strings That "Loosely Match" HTML Entities In Lucee CFML 5.3.5.92Yesterday, I started running into an interesting issue when using the canonicalize() function in Lucee CFML to normalize the encoding of a given URL. The result of the canonicalize() call was leaving some URL search-parameters intact while corrupting others. At first, it seemed completely random. But, after digging into it for a bit, I realized that the canonicalize() call was decoding substrings within the URL that looked like HTML entities. To demonstrate, I was able to isolate the issue in Lucee CFML 5.3.5.92.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3827-the-canonicalize-function-will-decode-strings-that-loosely-match-html-entities-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-5-92.htmVideo - Matthew Clemente - Customizing the CommandBox CLI Startup Banner (Learning by Trial and Error)I'll be hacking on a CommandBox module that allows for more targeted customization of the CommandBox CLI startup banner.
