ColdFusion Open-Source Update - February 4, 2008

Posted on Feb 04, 2008

Two new releases and five updates this week. For the record, this is the first version of this post written entirely by my new AIR application which worked awesome. Instead of a couple hours of copy/pasting, I got this post written in less than thirty minutes. It's like the Domino's Pizza of round-up posts only less greasy and more informative.
