News and Announcements

CFCamp is back in 2023
Given we’ve been taunting everyone with cancellations and postponements and dangling carrots in front of people since 2020 now, both Michi Hnat and I felt it’d be great to give you an exclusive! Breaking news kind of thing.

So: without further ado! CF Camp will be back in June 2023.

We have a date - 22 and 23rd of June 2023 for the main conference event. That is gonna be a Thursday and Friday and as in the past there will be additional pre events on the Tuesday and Wednesday. I would expect the Ortus team to run some training workshops for instance, I heard that the Preside CMS team is looking at doing a mini Preside-con day as well and we’ll see what else might be happening.

Venue is unchanged, we’ll be again in the Marriott Munich Airport, which is NOT at the airport but in the lovely little ancient town of Freising. Michi has booked the hotel, so it’s as official as it gets at this stage.

If you go to cfcamp.org now, you’ll find there is a “Save the date” and more will be coming soon. We’re currently working on the Sponsorship documents, and have started to think about the Call for Papers and what we want to be looking for from a session and topic point of view. It’ll be an open and transparent process again via Papercall or Sessionize and we'll again try to do our best to increase diversity and help to get underrepresented groups in the tech industry out there.

At this stage I’d expect the call for Papers to open in early Jan, not sure if we’ll manage to squeeze it onto this side of the end of year holidays.

CF Camp 2023

June 22/23, 2023
Freising, Germany

Adobe ColdFusion Fortuna (Codename for CF2023) Alpha
I am opening up the Alpha testing group for Adobe ColdFusion 2023 (Codename: Fortuna). Please sign up here to be set up for access to the alpha testing site on Adobe Prerelease:
https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/C0A219A0-A127-417A-D0D3-A7B5B3C5A0AE/participate/C3B4F4DC-8662-4610-D2B1-EE8FAD396648

Related - Adobe Bug Tracker Went MAD
As they released the Alpha, all of the tickets were moved to beta. People got a lot of emails, some people (ADAM CAMERON) got millions as every bug got moved from Alpha to Beta. The weird part was all the links to the issues were broken, I assume because of the Internal vs External Jira connection.
At least we know they use the bug tracker - right :)

Into the Box 2023 Call for Speakers is now Open
We are pleased to announce the call for speakers for the Into The Box Conference for 2023 is now officially open. The conference will be held in The Woodlands (Houston), Texas on May 17-19, 2023 . This year we will continue the tradition of training and offering a pre-conference hands-on training day on May 17th and our live Mariachi Band Party! However, we are back to our Spring schedule and beautiful weather in The Woodlands! Also, this 2023 will mark our 10 year anniversary. So we might have two live bands and much more!!!

ICYMI - CommandBox vNext supports providing SSL certs in PFX format
CommandBox vNext finally supports providing SSL certs in PFX format, which is a single file containing the public and private key as opposed to needing those in two separate files.

New Releases and Updates

Spreadsheet-cfml V3.7.0 released
Spreadsheet CFML 3.7.0 released with new option to read visible/formatted instead of raw values
James filed a bug for the ACF2021 issue. He’s posted 3 bugs in 30 days with Adobe.
https://github.com/cfsimplicity/spreadsheet-cfml

RayGun4CFML v1.5.0 release
What is RayGun Kai???
feature: Added .sendAsync() entry point wrapping the HTTP call into its own thread.
feature: Supports groupingKey now
fix: Improving handling of getHTTPRequestData in RaygunRequestMessage
chore: Regorganisation of code in RaygunClient
chore: Changed HTTP endpoint to .com
https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/raygun4cfml/releases/tag/1.5.0

S3SDK@BE - Now supports Encrypting files at Rest
Just finished adding support for encrypting files "at rest" in S3 in the CFML S3SDK. You can let AWS manage the keys or provide your own AES256 key. Remember, the S3SDK also does NOT require ColdBox to use it ???? Thx to Ortus clients who sponsor features! #CFML #ColdFusion
https://www.forgebox.io/view/s3sdk
In BE - will be released to stable soon.

Feature Spec - Wirebox 7 - Wirebox Lazy Properties
WireBox supports the concept of marking properties in your components as `lazy`. This will allow for the property to be constructed **ONCE** when requested ***ONLY** (lazy loaded)*. This way you can take advantage of the construction of the property being lazy loaded.
Internally, we will generate a *getter* method for you that will make sure to construct your property via a builder function you will provide, lock the request (by default), store it in the `variables` scope and return it to you.
https://ortussolutions.notion.site/WireBox-Lazy-Properties-6466853f4df74566a5f60d3eb9d23bce

ICYMI - Wirebox Delegates
WireBox supports the concept of object delegation in a simple expressive DSL. In object-oriented programming, delegation refers to the evaluating a member (property or method) of one object (the receiver) to the context of another object (the sender). Basically a way to proxy calls from one object to the other and avoid the overuse of inheritance, avoid runtime mixins or traits. WireBox provides a set of rules for method lookup and method dispatching that will allow you to provide delegation easily in your CFML applications.

ICYMI - Lucee released 5.3.9.166 Stable

Anyone running 5.3.9.160 is encouraged to update to this release.
https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-3-9-166-stable-release/11319

ICYMI - Restoring the CF Admin logviewer removed in Oct 2022 CF updates, at your own risk
As of the Oct 2022 CF updates (CF2021 update 5 and CF2018 update 15), Adobe has chosen to remove the CF Admin feature to view, search, download, and delete CF logs, due to asserted (but as-yet undocumented) security concerns.
What if you want it back? In this post, I explain what changed, why, and how to get the functionality back--albeit at your own risk. For more, read on.

CF Hawaii Meetup - Managing All your ColdFusion Servers with CommandBox with Brad Wood
Friday, November 18, 2022 at 2:00 PM PST
CommandBox is a standalone, native tool for Windows, Mac, and Linux that will provide you with a Command Line Interface (CLI) for developer productivity, tool interaction, package management, embedded CFML server, application scaffolding, and sweet ASCII art. It seamlessly integrates to work with any of Ortus Solutions *Box products, but it is also open for extensibility for any ColdFusion (CFML) project as it is written in ColdFusion (CFML) using our concepts of CommandBox Commands.

CommandBox also functions as a package management tool which integrates seamlessly with ForgeBox. During this meeting Brad will give you an introduction to CommandBox to mange your ColdFusion Server as well as CF Config to Manage the CF Admin.

11/11/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Generating Fallback Avatars Using CFImage And ColdFusion
Earlier this week, I talked about proxying Gravatar images in order to serve more aggressive Cache-Control headers in ColdFusion. Another benefit of proxying Gravatar is that I can exert more control over what happens when the given user doesn't have a Gravatar image. Meaning, instead of using the current, default Arnold Schwarzenegger avatar, I might be able to generate a per-user custom avatar. As a first step in this exploration, I wanted to see if I could use the CFImage tag / image functions in Adobe ColdFusion 2021 to generate name-based images.

11/9/22 - Blog - Brian Rielly - On ColdFusion, XXE, and other XML Attacks
This is the first of what may become a few blog posts based on my CFSummit 2022 talk. Plus with the release of Adobe Security Bulletin APSB22-44 in October -- which fixed some security bugs that I reported and improved the available ColdFusion XML security options -- I figured this was also a good opportunity to pull together some ColdFusion XML security best practices into one place.

It will be relaxed but educational environment, where we can learn from each other, and grow as a community.

Goes well with a previous recommendation:
EditorConfig for Visual Studio Code
This plugin attempts to override user/workspace settings with settings found in .editorconfig files. No additional or vscode-specific files are required. As with any EditorConfig plugin, if root=true is not specified, EditorConfig will continue to look for an .editorconfig file outside of the project.
