Todd, I was in Newton this week and spent some time with the CF team, they are reviewing this right now. A service pack is not out of the question, but as I said, none is planned right now.
The good news is that CFMX was designed to very easily allow patches or hotfixes, CFMX itself looks for them and loads them automatically if present (without needing a full reinstall as was the case in prior CF's), so there are other options beyond service packs (options that can be created and deployed far quicker and easier if needed). Now, I am not saying they'll be a patch or hotfix yet, but I am saying that the few known problems areas (COM being the biggest) are being looked at right now, and as soon as the engineering team has worked out what the best course of action is they'll be an announcement. Heck, I'll post a message here myself as soon as I hear anything. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 2:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Storing Queries in Application Scope Ben, What about 3rd party upgrades...? Example given: Axis - Are those being released in the form of a patch or perhaps instructions on how to do it? Same thing with the jre? Just curious. ~Todd On Fri, 12 Jul 2002, Ben Forta wrote: > Douglas, > > Well, if you are planning to wait for an SP you could end up waiting > for a long long time, there is no SP scheduled at this time. > > And while there have been posts here about problems upgrading, realize > that there are a couple of thousand subscribers to this list (and far > less than that are regular contributors) and that is a very small > percentage of the CF user base - the reality is that most users have > not experienced upgrade problems at all.
