Known issues in this release

  • An exception occurs if an attempt is made to index a zipped directory containing powerpoint file(s). 
  • Adminservlet war was being copied even though the remote admin component had been disabled. If you install/uninstall the update, ensure that you delete the folders present inside the [CF Home]\[Instance Name]\jetty\work directory, and restart the ColdFusionAddonServices after update is installed. This ensures that the latest changes are picked up by  the Jetty server.
  • CF-4204191: The CreateODBCDateTime() function was using epoch time as 01-FEB-1970. Now it is fixed to use ColdFusion's epoch time, 30-DEC-1899. 
  • When using single-line lambdas in built-in functions, use an explicit return statement within braces (for example, (item) =>  {return item.rating >= 3;}
  • If you have added a whitelisted IP address, it is not removed even after you have uninstalled the update.
  • Web pages do not render as expected when document root of Apache contains localized characters. As a work-around, create a document root with only English characters.
  • CF-4198851: For the fix for “PBKDF2WithSHA256 algorithm is not supported by the security provider” bug, ensure the JDK used is JDK 10 or higher.

Known issues reported after the update

  • CF-4205250: A <cfoutput> tag outside a function call  causes a nested tag error if the function call contains a <cfoutput query="">.
  • CF-4205251: Nested implicit structures in an argument in an IF statement throws an exception.

  • CF-4205246: A UDF with a Fat arrow do not always parse as expected.
  • CF-4205247: When you pass a UDF with a Fat arrow into a BIF with no curly braces around, the body causes a parsing error.
  • CF-4205248: When you pass a Fat arrow function to a BIF with a default value on one of the parameters, an error occurs.
  • CF-4205269: A few queries that do not use cftransaction results in the exception, java.sql.SQLException: Datasource names for all the database tags within the cftransaction tag must be the same.
