Adobe ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 Cumulative Hot Fix 2 (CHF2) is now available. As with all CHF's, we only recommend that it be applied to ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 if you are experiencing one or more of the specific fixed issues listed at the link below. (Note that this cumulative hot fix is specific to ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 and should not be applied to previous releases.) More instructions and the detailed list of "what's fixed" at the link below.

As a reminder to everyone, and especially those running production Adobe ColdFusion applications, Daylight Savings Time (DST) officially begins THIS COMING SUNDAY, and lasts through the first Sunday in November. "Studies" will apparently determine if this remains permanent, but if you're running applications on ColdFusion MX 6.1 or ColdFusion MX 7.x, you'll want to be on Sun's 1.4.2_11 (or later VM.) More info on DST here http://en.wikipedia.

Great little article by Kola Oyedeji, on the "Java.net" web site, as Ben pointed out. The article begins with, "Forget Ruby on Rails; in this article I outline why, as a Java developer, you should be perhaps be looking to another technology closer to home to leverage your existing in-house skills and infrastructure..." I couldn't agree more, especially with what's in the ColdFusion Scorpio release coming later this year!

This fall, Adobe will host customers, developers, and partners around the world at MAX 2007. This year?s conference will extend the MAX brand to encompass all of Adobe?s offerings. Therefore, all Adobe users will have content and programs available to them to learn new skills and explore emerging technologies, while connecting with peers and industry leaders.

The first four weeks of the ColdFusion "Scorpio" User Group Tour have been finalized and published on the Adobe Labs Scorpio page. Find a location near you and check it out for sure. We'll be showing some amazing stuff that will seem truly "magical". Arthur C. Clarke's 3rd law of prediction states: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." To be sure, Adobe Scorpio will definitely seem that way to many users.

There are now three Adobe TechNotes WRT Adobe ColdFusion and DST. Please refer to my original post on this topic HERE for more info on the 2007 DST (Daylight Savings Time) change. Ok, so you have no excuse not to be informed :) The Adobe TechNote articles are: For ColdFusion 5: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb400365 For ColdFusion 6, 6.1, 7 and JRun: http://www.adobe.com/go/d2ab4470 For general info on DST with CF6 and up: http://www.adobe.

A small Scorpio FAQ, some Scorpio desktop wallpaper and a link to the Scorpio Pre-release program signup survey is available on Adobe Labs here: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Scorpio See you in the forums "on the inside"...

We've posted some new Adobe ColdFusion and Flex 2-related content to the Adobe website: 1. Flex Application Wizard:                          http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/demos This demo shows how to use ColdFusion Extensions for Flex Builder 2 to easily generate a complete rich Internet application to view and maintain records in a database. 2.

The ColdFusion Extensions for Adobe FlexBuilder were updated in FlexBuilder 2.0.1 and enable the inclusion of ColdFusion 7 dynamically-generated FlashPaper 2-based banded business reports or rich documents (created using the ColdFusion 7 CFDOCUMENT tag) right in your Flex 2.0.1 applications (and they print properly too right from the Flex 2 panel).
