New Atlanta, just released Beta 1 of version 7 of thier BlueDragon CFML application server.

Below is a list of the new features - I think the IsNull function and null keyword will prove to be quite handy.

  • Interfaces and Abstract CFCs
  • null keyword and IsNull() function
  • CFQUERY Enhancements
    • CACHEDUNTILCHANGE attribute
    • BACKGROUND attribute
  • Application.cfc
    • onClientStart() handler
    • onMissingTemplate() handler
  • CFDOCUMENT
  • CFCHART
  • CFSEARCH Enhancements
    • support for Word and PDF documents
    • support for multiple languages
  • UDF Forward References in CFML pages
  • CFREGISTRY support for Windows registry

Awesome. Its great to see New Atlanta driving Coldfusion forward. CF, as a language, remained largely the same between MX and 7, but I think this might be just the push we need to get the ball rolling. :)

One of the best parts I think is the CFTHREAD tag, been testing it the last few days, and it can really speed up some applications.. :) The only thing I miss though, is the event gateways of CF 7. But hopefully we'll see it in BlueDragon CFML Server 8.
