Adobe ColdFusion (2018 release) | Release Notes

Welcome to ColdFusion (2018 release), a creative progression in Adobe's efforts to help web developers build robust Internet applications.

The following are the download locations for ColdFusion (2018 release):

Adobe ColdFusion 2016 is a feature packed version of ColdFusion with benefits ranging from better security, performance, scalability, language enhancements along with the all new Performance Monitoring Toolset.

The following are known issues for Adobe ColdFusion (2018 release):

• Search score is reduced drastically in associative entity search.
• ORMSearchOfflinedoes not return any result if the entity column is not indexable.
• When you generate an iOS release build using Cordova, from ColdFusion Builder, it is not signed by default. Use Cordova commands from terminal and sign the iOS application as mentioned in the Cordova documentation.
• On Linux, if you encounter the error "Failed to create the part's control" often, restart ColdFusion Builder.
• When you launch ColdFusion Builder for the first time, the font size or icons appear smaller than expected. This is a known issue with Eclipse. As a workaround, restart ColdFusion Builder.
• A local PDFg service is only available for Windows and Linux platforms. If the service is listed as an option in the installer on Mac OS X or Solaris, ignore the option. For Mac OS X and Solaris, the PDFg service must be used remotely, i.e. the service must be hosted on either a Windows or a Linux platform and configured for remote access from the Mac OS X or Solaris systems.
• You can create a web site/application name/remote instance registration names, that do not have any space in the name.
• If an instance is selected for lockdown (for example, cfusion) and the Next button is clicked, and subsequently, another instance is selected by using the Previous button, the log files are incorrectly generated in the logs folder of the first instance.
• When Null support is on, looping over a query object returns empty strings in place of [null] values.
• The Search in the ColdFusion Administratordoes not work in a Japanese locale and will return search results in English.
• After uninstalling Server Auto-Lockdown, few residue folders (such as jre, uninstall, Logs) are left behind. Delete the folders manually.
• On Ubuntu, the ColdFusion installer does not allow you to proceed with errors. If you see this issue, enter the following cooomands:
• 1. xhost si:localuser:root 
  2. cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/xdg/autostart/xhost.desktop
  3. [Desktop Entry]
  4. Name=xhost
  5. Comment=Fix graphical root applications
  6. Exec="xhost +si:localuser:root"
  7. Terminal=false
  8. Type=Application
  9. EOF
  10. alias gsuon='xhost si:localuser:root'

                 Then sudo ./CFInstaller should launch in GUI mode as expected.

• Commennts in a cfml behave unexpectedly with closures in cfscript. 
• When Null support is on, default argument values of a method, if specified, takes precedence when the argument is set to null.
• Cfsearch does not filter the results as expected.
• Server Monitoring APIs do not work.
• Once an application is deleted from the entities and if the application is run again for monitoring, no data would be captured for the same Application by the Performance Monitoring Toolset.
• REST Services registration and REST Playground do not work on WebLogic 12, but works on WebLogic 13.0.
• In ColdFusion (2018 release), after starting a WAR and trying to invoke a web service, the following error message appears:

           java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "jikes": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

            As a workaround, copy tools.jar from jre > lib (1.8) to WEB_INF > cfusion > lib and restart the server. 

• A connector configured with IPv6 has issues in plotting data in Connectors Dashboard in Performance Monitoring Toolset.
• When Performance Monitoring Toolset registers a ColdFusion server with an IPV6, it throws an error message due to which following page data fails to display: CF Server > Active monitoring & CF Server>Caching
• Websites containing unicode characters are not listed under Topology > Sites page in the Performance Monitoring Toolset dashboard.
• Once an application is deleted from the entities and if the application is run again for monitoring, no data would be captured for the same Application by the Performance Monitoring Toolset.
• After a cleanup of the Datastore, you will not be able to log in to Performance Monitoring Toolset. As a workaround, create installer-user.properties file in <pmt-home>\datastore\elasticsearch\config and add the properties username=<username> and password=<password>.
• The week-time filter does not work as expected. As a workaround, you can select the data of the last seven days from the time filter.
• Only a few ColdFusion built-in functions are captured in the Code flow tab.
• The week filter does not work. For more information and fix, see the kb document.
• If a website or an instance or an application has spaces in its name, the Performance Monitoring Toolset is unable to monitor the website/instance/application.
