ColdFusion: new updates for CF10 and 11 available for pre-release testing

G'day:
I'm a day or so behind on this, but in case you're a ColdFusion user but don't follow the Adobe ColdFusion Blog, this is for you.

Adobe have release a pre release version of the latest updates for ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11.

Official word here:
Note that these are prerelease updaters, so are not fit for putting in production. What they are for is for you to install in your lab so you can run your regression tests, or this release has a bug that has been impacting you, for testing the fix works.

If you're running ColdFusion 10 and/or 11, make sure you go subscribe to those comment threads if nothing else. It's important to know about other people's experiences with the updaters, which often gets reported on these threads.

Here are the bugs fixed in each:

The ColdFusion 10 update seemed to apply fine, but it took me about four goes for the ColdFusion 11 update to "take" on my CF11 Express install. This is par for the course with installing updates on Express, so that's nothing new.

Anyway... there you go... an opportunity to lab-test these updates and report any issues to Adobe.

Cheers Adobe for pre-releasing this!

Righto.
