And... I'm back

G'day:
I'm pleased to say that Google seems to have got its act together, and this blog now seems to be showing up in Google's search results again, after an absence of a fortnight ("Gone from Google?").

I have no idea what happened, but I'd like to thank Andrew and Russell for looking into it for me (they know stuff about Google Webmaster Tools: I myself do not).

Righto.

Lucee 5 beta this week?

G'day:
So... three weeks ago, Andrew Dixon (speaking on behalf of the Lucee Association), said we'd have a Lucee 5 beta in 2-4 weeks.

Just a heads-up, Lucee bods... we're into that fourth week now. Are you still on track to get the public beta out the door this week?

Update:

This has just been confirmed by Alex: it's still due to be out the door this week. Nice one.

Rather looking forward to seeing it, me.

(and, no, I have nothing insightful to add. This is just what occurred to me on the train on the way in this morning. Back to PHPland now).

More info on Lucee 5

G'day:
The Lucee Association seems to have jumped on its comms recently, with Andrew working on the Lucee blog, and Micha has also now created a page on the wiki page detailing some stuff on what's coming in Lucee 5.

A lot of this stuff is what was being thrown around for Railo 5, which should come as no surprise. But this does mean that back in the Railo days Gert has taken us through it all. Still: it's worth repeating because unlike Railo 5... Lucee 5 will be with us (at least in alpha/beta) in a coupla weeks. And I expect it to be released at dev.objective().

28 (-ish) Days Later

G'day:
Very quickly, I just got some mostly-official word from the Lucee Association about where the hell Lucee 5 has got to. Well I say "I", but Andrew was answering to the Lucee mailing list on Google:

A public beta will be available within the next 2 to 4 weeks.

Andrew is a "Special Member". I mean of the Lucee Association. So, anyway, he's speaking officially. Oh (I'm updating this on Mon 16/3/2015), it's also mentioned on Lucee's new official blog: "Welcome and Lucee 5".

Anyway, two things to say on that:
  • About bloody time. How long have we been waiting for this? Obviously all the Railo / Lucee shenanigans got in the way of a more expedient release.
  • Cool!
I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it. It should revitalise this blog, for one thing.

Anyway, that's that. I've got coffee to hunt down, breakfast to eat and rugby to go watch. Oh and the beer, let's not forget about the beer.

ColdFusion 2016: instead of <cfbell> and <cfwhistle>...

G'day:
I was asked to comment on Microsoft's announcement that the entire .Net Framework is going open source (".NET Core is Open Source"), and what we - the CFML community - should think about that in the context of ColdFusion.
