Updates, updates. Get your CF updates! The CF Team has been busy fixin' bugs!
Note: This blog post is from 2015. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.If you'd not noticed, the CF team has been busy fixin' bugs! Over 300 in CF11 in just the past month. Check out these two announcements today of prereleases of update 5 for CF11 and update 16 for CF10:
- ColdFusion 11 Update 5 prerelease build now available
- ColdFusion 10 Update 16 prerelease build available
This is on top of the release earlier this week of the final version of CF11 Update 4 (which had been in prerelease for a couple of weeks):
Great to see the CF team cranking on the bug fixes. I count just under 120 in the technotes for CF11 update 5, and just under 40 in CF10 update 16. And there were just under 200 fixes in Update 3 of CF11, which again was released just in recent weeks.
Yeah, but what about all those bugs?
Yes, I know some could twist things and say "yeah, but the problem is that there are so many bugs to be fixed". Sure.
Still, for others who may have longed to see their bugs fixed,
And I see your comment asking this same thing, wishing for more fixes especially about color coding. That's the best place to ask, really, not here. :-) I'm just sharing the news of what they've done. I have no control of what they have not.
It's perhaps somewhat interesting to note that of the 21 comments there at that entry, they're all related to technicalities of applying the update. No one else is asking "where are more updates?", let alone your specific issue.
I'm not saying there are not such problems. I'm just saying, as I did above, that it's up to people to let Adobe know of their concerns and get others to join them in whatever that concern is. (I've not experienced the disdain over color coding issues myself.)
And again, that means filing bug reports, and then getting others with the same issue to join in voting for them. They're clearly listening, and who knows, you may soon find an update that will address your issues. Go file your bugs, and maybe put links to them somewhere that Builder users gather (the Adobe forums, the CF team blog, bloggers devoted to Builder, etc.)
