Bug Fixes

This release fixes an issue where Adobe CF servers will not start if you're machine is offline and also fixes a bug where the previous version of CommandBox didn't correctly remove old versions of jar files on upgrade.

Enhancements

Git tags when bumping a package command can have a custom prefix now. Tab completion options are also alphabetized. Ctrl-C is also handled better on Unix and actually works in Windows! Also, the timestamp on your sever.json file won't be updated unless the contents of the file actually changed.

Updating Adobe ColdFusion isn't always just installing the latest patch

Keeping Adobe ColdFusion updated is an important part of maintaining a secure and reliable application environment.

But applying a ColdFusion update is not always as simple as installing the latest patch and restarting the server.

Updates can include security fixes, library upgrades, JVM-related changes, changes to the ColdFusion Administrator, updated packages, bug fixes, and changes in runtime behavior. Most updates will not cause problems for most applications. But when you'r...
