The next version of CF will have the
following features: * Built in Flex 2. * Toggle to allow components to use loose
or fixed type variables (rather than broke ones) * ORM plugin modules * Full CUnit technology * Streaming Channel server (supporting all
types of streams not any particular one) * UML xUML file generators * Visual Studio CF Module * Built in language translation * XQuery * Built in mySQL 5.0 support (The
database, not just the connector) * Extended Application mapping for tags
and such * Standard OS authentication for all
platforms * Anti-Virus interface and spyware blocker
technology * Cursor like grid recordset technology
for Web Grids. * Flash Remoting that is as easy as
CFQuery * Full browser feature detection, plug ins
and all * Using Flash 8.5 virtual engine… browser
side support for _vbscript_ * Rewrite will allow CF apps to run 7
times faster on average. * Memory storage will be compressed
without any noticed slow down so caching in memory will be better. * Motivated by MySQL’s database translator
there will be an app translator that will convert PHP and ASP apps to CF. * CFCs will have private scope (getter and
setter function trigger on this scope variables.) * Built in support tags for CVS and SVN. * IMAP mail support … there are some really cool things in the
pipe also, but only Max conference speakers will get those details for the big
release pump next year. J From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Hardy Hi Roland, I don't think you're alone there. And in asp.net
2.0 MS is adding support for All this does make me curious as to what we'll get in the next version
of Coldfusion. And when that will be. Any body know? Does MM even say? Cheers Pete (aka lad4bear) On 01/11/05, Roland

personally don't believe that Flash is really as viable as a business solution
as most people do. Many of our customers are very large institutions
where the Flash plugin is verboten, so it's not even an option for us.
XAML, besides being in beta, is Windows only (for now, though this will
change), so that's not an option either. In the specific market to which
we cater, neither is an alternative. DHTML and Roland From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Behalf Of John C. Bland II One thing that is being forgotten is talking Flex 2 is
talking Flash Player. What will XAML play/run in? (rhetorical) Will it beat
FP's penetration? (stats to be argued but not the point here; its has the
highest penetration rate than any other app in history...including Windows) On

Not this time. When you compare Visual Studio with Flex Builder 2… eh, free
distribution in both cases. Hmmm… seems like a major shift just saying it will
be under 1K. They shipped CFReports free with CF and the report builder is also
free. Your talking the old Macromedia… and certainly not giving Adobe credit
here either. Microsoft has a history of failed products… they leave them
behind. Here's a little marketing class for you. ( DIVERSIFICATION : don't put
all your eggs in one basket… I think Microsoft has heard of it before.) With
those two details in mind… (and look how many attempts MS has made to best
Google in the search engine war!) Bottom line is if you are right… the future
of MS pivots on XAML… it will either be a success enough to keep them going,
growing or gone. I remember windows 3.x and it's crash ability… and Windows 95…
heh. The market won't bear anything less than super stable. It's a different
arena and they have to play against Flex. I have one word of advice if XAML doesn't hold it's water
against Flex. If someone leaves… rather (WHEN) someone leaves MS for Adobe to
join the Flex team… avoid certain execs who hate google. Heh! I love it! John Farrar P.S. I am a windows user… but the Mac guys must be loving this
thread! From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Peter
Hardy hmmm ...
am not sure that's a realistic assessment of the situation. Microsoft
has invested an enormous amount of time and money on it's new platform
which includes the WPF (Avalon) Framework. This has to be a success for
Microsoft and so a success it will be. Anyone who doubts this just
needs to look at how Microsoft behaved when the xbox was launched. With Flex
2 on the horizon and Microsofts entry still in Beta I don't think anyone could
say which is technically the strongest. But if MM continues to charge high
prices for software that MS gives away for free then the future doesn't look
too bright The take-over of MM by Adobe is an interesting twist but Adobe's
strength and focus is on the presentation tier. I'm not convinced that
Coldfusion or Flex had a lot to do with Adobes purchase or what will happen
when the inevitable shuffle takes place. Cheers
