This release focusses on bug fixes and making Lucee more secure by default, the big change here is that XML XXE mitigations are now on by default. This release also solves a native QoQ bug. https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-stable-release-5-4-2-17/12828 Lucee 5.4.1.8 Stable Release notes: https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-4-1-8-stable-release/12778 Lucee ZERO, a lighter Lucee Light (Lamba Friendly) Lucee Zero is a new smaller Lucee distribution without the admin or docs bundled.This reduces the jar size by about 2mb and avoids expanding them on install, which makes Lucee initial startup a lot faster, as there is less to deploy.Why an additional distribution?Firstly backwards compat with existing build pipelines, as you can’t build a full install by adding just extensions, the admin simply isn’t there with Lucee Zero.Secondly Lambas have some size limitations, you only have 50MB, when Lucee deploys, the .lco is extracted into lucee-server/patches and then the lucee-admin.lar and lucee-doc.lar are exracted out into lucee-server/context/context, plus inside the original lucee-zero.jar.So this new distribution saves roughly 6MB of disk space, as there ends up being three copies of these two .lar archives on the filesystem once deployed.When I run the local build for extensions, it’s about 6-7s faster (Lucee does deploy slower on windows than linux, so YMMV)https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-zero-a-lighter-lucee-light-lamba-friendly/12749 Webinar / Meetups and WorkshopsICYMI - Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group - Intro to ColdFusion 2023June 23rd, 2023Adobe ColdFusion 2023 is released today! Packed with cutting-edge features and enhanced performance, this release takes ColdFusion to new heights of innovation. Come see what's new in ColdFusion 2023 with Mark Takata of Adobe.Recording: https://hawaiicoldfusionusergroup.adobeconnect.com/pykivms4zclo/ Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group - CF Scheduled Tasks: more than you may know, and shouldSpeaker: Charlie ArehartFriday July 28th, 2023 at 3pm PTIf folks were asked to discuss CF scheduled tasks, I suspect most would feel "there's not much 'to say", but there really is a lot more to working with them simply "setting a given url to run on a given schedule" (did you know it could be a CFC, for instance?).There are both more features than most realize, as well as solutions to common problems people can face when running them, and a lot of myths regarding old limitations that have since been lifted. In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with a focus on tools and techniques for solving common problems with them, then showing several ways to create them (yes, even more than just cfschedule and the CF Admin UI).He'll then review several features of using tasks that you may have missed—to include distinguishing which few are NOT available in CF Standard.He'll also discuss briefly the underlying quartz open source framework that powers them (and offers still more extensibility), as well as the underlying neo-cron.xml file and tips for protecting that, and he'll even identify ways to control/allow access to managing tasks that may surprise many. He'll conclude with alternatives when the base features don't suit you.https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294711603 Adobe Upcoming EventsWebinar- Road to Fortuna Series: New Administrator Features in Adobe ColdFusion 2023 WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 202310:00 AM PDTOnline Eventhttps://administrator-features-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ Adobe ColdFusion Workshop WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 20239:00 AM EDTOnline Eventhttps://adobecf-1day-workshop.meetus.adobeevents.com/ Webinar - Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 202310:00 AM PDTOnline Eventhttps://google-cloud-platform-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ CFCasts Content Updates...
