Oh yeah, you could well be right. I knew something about it was bung, but couldn't remember what. > I think that in C++ and Java, the exception variable is declared (locally) by its use in the catch() clause so this makes cfscript less surprising for C++ / Java developers. Just more confusing for CF developers. That doesn't strike me as a very good rationale, to be honest. But such is life, I guess. But anyway... As Nathan alluded to, it's bloody annoying because in the case of try/catch (ie: script), it now breaks previously working code. Any chance of getting a hotunfix for this? Who should I direct such suggestions to? > Yes, there was a beta program - and it was mentioned on both Tim Buntel's and > Damon Cooper's blog Oh right. Don't put much stock in blogs, meself. The signal to noise ratio seems to be a bit in favour of noise, too much of the time (not a comment on those particular blogs, just my experience of the fad in general). But anyway, that's why I missed it: more fool me. > - but I believe the criteria were tighter than the beta for 7.0 since the > team were specifically focusing on certain issues. Fair enough. Realistically I wouldn't have been much of a useful participant because I only shifted to CFMX7.0 about a month ago, and haven't touched any of its features yet. Too much "real work" to do, unfortunately. Cheers. -- Adam -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
