Yes, I check our logs regularly- especially after a crash. There's nothing strange to speak of in there. However, I did have some tnsnames timeouts connecting to our oracle server that day, which is why I thought it might have been caused by that. Regardless, something like that is no excuse for a server hangup/crash. Also, it should be known that this site was migrated from 4.5.1 sp2, and the only part of the code that underwent any changes was the security code (which was obviously needed)- which remained simple. The site almost never used to crash/hang in 4.5.1. I'd get maybe one hangup every 2 months before. Also, I'm not saying Updater 3 is necessarily unstable/unreliable. I'm just saying that I have in fact had a hangup with it, and people should be wary before jumping in- even if that just means to give it a month or two and see how it plays out. I'll send another e-mail to the list in a few weeks to give an update on how our server is running- hopefully the info will be of use to people considering migration.

I will say that this release appears more stable so far (4 days). It had been hanging on us almost daily (one day 4 times). After applying Updater 3, we had no problems for 2 days straight. Then yesterday, it hung :( I can't begin to describe how severely disappointed I was. Now, in fairness we were having some network trouble yesterday, so it's possible that queries were timing out or something and this wreaked havoc on the server. I'm not quite sure. But, I want to let those who may be thinking of going to production level with CF MX know that it may be a good idea to give it a month or so at least and see what kind of feedback comes in. I'm not yet convinced that CF MX with updater 3 is necessarily up to snuff just yet. I really don't want to be negative about this- but there's nothing worse than dealing with a crashing server (even if CFCs/web services/new security structure are 1000 times better to develop in), and I don't want others to have to deal with it needlessly.

In my opinion, this is very close to a full "dot-release" of CFMX, and includes all cumulative major fixes in all product areas, and adds over 100 fixes, mostly focused around server reliability and stability. If you've shied away from CFMX until now because of reported stability problems, this is your release. We're committed to supporting ColdFusion and you, the ColdFusion customer, and we're working hard to ensure you get the best ColdFusion products we can produce.
