ColdFusion Open-Source Update - November 13
Posted on Nov 13, 2006
Two new projects this week (well at least new to me) and several important updates.New Project: CFPicasa
Initial Release
Charles Toro created a project to interact with the RSS features that are part of the Picasa Web Albums from Google.
New Project: cfWatcher
Released on RIAForge
This project by Ed Tabara is already at version 2.0 but was recently added to RIAForge (as in, this is the first I heard about it). It is an server performance monitoring tool that has been tested against CF7. You are required to give your name and email before getting the download URL.
Model-Glue
Important Unity Changes
Joe Rinehart discusses some significant changes to the Model-Glue framework in Unity (and currently in the bleeding edge release). One is a change to how the framework knows when to generate scaffolds (i.e. they are no longer automatic). The other is that resource pooling was officially removed as it has caused a number of issues as discussed on the mailing list.
ColdSpring
Import Tag Support Added
Jared Rypka-Hauer discusses his contribution to the ColdSpring project that was recently committed to CVS. It is support for the import tag that is supported by Spring. This can help with organization in large projects where the xml config file might get unwieldy.
Mach II
Updated FAQs
Peter Farrell updated the FAQs for Mach II, including the changes in version 1.1.1.
CFSpry
Update Released
Ray Camden updated his code to support panels and will be giving a presentation on Spry this Wednesday to the Hartford CFUG via Connect.
MachBlog
MachBlog Update
Matt Woodward gives an update on MachBlog development which he expects to have a final release towards the end of the year (which isn't that far away after all). He also has created a couple of skins.
ColdFusion Yahoo Package
Update Released
Ray Camden has added local search to his Yahoo API as well as some small changes.
Reactor
Using Reactor as a Gateway Factory
Dave Shuck offers a tutorial on how you would create Reactor generated gateways to be used as singletons within your project to help improve performance.
