Gavin and Brad host this weeks episode. They talk about ColdBox 6.5.0 and CFConfig 1.4.0 and ContentBox CLI and RC being released. They remind you about upcoming deadlines for call for speakers and super early bird tickets for ITB. They announce July's Ortus Webinar. They also talked about a few items you might have missed, Lucee's 5.3.8 version finally being released and the final location for Adobe's Dev Week videos, once they're done editing and a reminder to fill out the State of the CF Union Survey.
They discuss the latest CFCasts content, and some upcoming conferences... including Into the Box 2021 and Into the Box Latam both being held in person this year.
They spotlight a lot of great blog posts, tweets, videos and podcasts, too many to list, so listen to the show.
They announce some jobs from getCfmlJobs.com including 2 jobs from Ortus Solutions.
They show off the ForgeBox module of the Week, CFConfig - A CLI library for importing, exporting, transferring, and otherwise managing CF engine configuration.
This week's VS Code Tip of the week is VSCode Can Do That?! Are you really making full use of the powerful features VS Code has to offer? Burke Holland and Sarah Drasner claim you don’t, so to change that, they share all the best things about VS Code that nobody ever bothered to tell you.
They thanked all their Patreons - they reached the goal of 100% support of the podcast and we're on the way to the next set of goals. They talked a little information about perks for their Patreon supporters, and a new option, Annual Memberships with a discount.

ColdBox 6.5.0 Released
Today we are excited to release ColdBox v6.5.0 and its standalone companion libraries: CacheBox, LogBox and WireBox. This release has focused on stability and making sure all bugs are addressed especially when using our schedulers and asynchronous processes.
https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/intro/release-history/whats-new-with-6.5.0 https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-650-released CFConfig 1.4.0 Released
Today we've released a new version of CFConfig-- your friendly neighborhood CLI for configuring Adobe and Lucee servers. CFConfig sees a lot of little releases that we don't announce, but they are usually very small little releases adding a single setting here or there. Today's release has a nice collection of brand new features that seemed worth talking about.

https://coldfusion.adobe.com/videos/ ICYMI - Lucee 5.3.8 ReleasedThis has been a very long release cycle, a massive thank you to everyone who has been helping us test and address regressions and performance problems…
We have done a lot of work in 5.3.8 to optimise memory usage, the main two areas being improved was the template cache handling and parallel functionality.
Highlights:
- structValueArray
- Array methods: shift(), unshift(), push(), pop(), splice()
- Reevaluate performance of locking overhead in pc.initApplicationContext() for every request
- Query of Query performance is very bad and single threaded for complex SQL
- Object-Oriented Programming with Nolan Erck (https://cfcasts.com/series/oop-series)
- NOW WITH CAPTIONS!
- CFC Docs with DocBox for Documentation

https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-650-released Blog - Charlie Arehart - ColdFusion Portal - ColdFusion Security Code Analyzer now works with CF2021 Standard and Developer editionsIf you may not have used or even considered the CF Security Code Analyzer because it worked only with CF Enterprise, check out this change in CF2021. It now works with any CF2021 edition. And you may have a free license of CF Builder you could use for this.
Whether you may be currently using the ColdFusion Security Code Analyzer feature or have never known of it or used it, this is a newsworthy discovery: the tool now works with ColdFusion 2021 when running even as the free Developer edition or Standard edition/license. Prior to CF2021, it worked only with CF’s Enterprise license or Trial edition, and specifically NOT with a Standard license or the free Developer edition.
https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/07/coldfusion-security-analyzer-works-with-standard-and-developer/ Blog - Charlie Arehart - ColdFusion Portal - What to try when Adobe site downloads or form submissions fail to work properlyHave you perhaps tried to download ColdFusion from the Adobe site, only to find after you fill out the CF dev/trial download form that the download would not start? You’re just left at a page which offers no other means to download (Adobe could and should fix that by offering links on that page in case this could happen).
Or perhaps you’ve tried to file a bug report at the Adobe Tracker site, only to find that the bug report fails to be submitted and you instead get an error, “Bug Submission Failed“. Even trying to file a blog post on this very portal can sometimes be met with “submission failed“.
