ForgeBox 5.1 released
Today we are pleased to announce a minor release for our FORGEBOX suite of products to version 5.1.0. It has tons of updates and nice features for all plans. Enjoy!
https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/forgebox-v510-releasedCommandBox 5.1.1 ReleasedWe have pushed a patch release of CommandBox 5.1.1 which is a small addition to the recent 5.1.0 release. This release was primarily to address a regression in 5.1.0 affecting Mac OS users who tried to start Lucee servers. If you see an error similar to this on a Lucee server and you're running a Mac and CommandBox 5.1.0, then this release will fix it for you.

https://confs.tech/Blogs, Tweets and Videos of the WeekBlog - Ben Nadel - The mid() Function Can Safely Go Out-Of-Bounds And Gather Zero Characters In Lucee CFML 5.3.4.77I'm almost certain that the mid() function in ColdFusion - think the .slice() function in JavaScript - has historically been quite touchy regarding out-of-bounds references and zero-length extractions. At some points, however, this must have changed. I don't know when it changed; but, I accidentally discovered this nicety the other day when I was attempting to canonicalize a URL by its individual components in Lucee CFML. In an attempt to bring my mental model for the mid() function into the modern era, I wanted to quickly demonstrate its lenient behavior in Lucee CFML 5.3.4.77.

Blog - Fusion Reactor - FusionAnalytics End Of Life (EOL)
Since 2011, FusionAnalytics (FA) has been delivering incredible insight into the metrics provided by FusionReactor. FusionAnalytics is built using a variety of technologies from Adobe Inc. – the main technology being Adobe Flash. Adobe announced that they will end-of-life Flash at the end of 2020, specifically, Adobe will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020. In light of this situation, we have decided to also halt further development of FusionAnalytics and official support will end in December 2020.

https://regexr.com/ Blog - Brain Klaas - Beyond the Basics of Using AWS S3 in CFML: Encrypting Objects at Rest in S3AWS Identity Access Management (IAM) provides very strong security to all of your data in AWS, and S3 in particular, if you use it properly. Proper IAM policies make it so that only the right people have access to the right resources in AWS. (If you want to learn more about using IAM in CFML, watch my presentation from Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2019.) What if someone steals one of your AWS logins? How can you protect your data in S3 so that bad actors can’t see what you’ve stored in your S3 buckets in case they steal your credentials? What if you have compliance obligations which require you to encrypt every piece of data you store?
