ColdFusion Open-Source Update - October 30
Posted on Oct 29, 2006
Three new projects and several updates this week, including a new FarCry beta. I know this is a little early, but I had the time and so I decided to get it done ;)New Project: RSSVille
Initial Release
Mark Mazelin released a set of components for creating RSS feeds that he is hosting at RIAForge. It can output formats including RSS 0.9x, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom. It also includes a module for generating an RSS 2.0 iTunes podcast feed.
New Project: CFFormProtect
User Friendly CAPTCHA
Jake Munson has released an alternative to obfuscated text CAPTCHA that uses images of common objects to help identify legitimate posts. You can customize the images as well as the display.
New Project: CFX_Markdown
CFXMarkdown Ports Markdown to ColdFusion
The Markdown project converts an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format into structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
New Project: Trac_Fu
Initial Release
Another project by Russ Johnson, this one is an issue tracker built with Fusebox 5 and has Ray Camden's Canvas wiki built in. In this post Russ also discusses how he is currently integrating the CFDiff project for SVN repository browsing as well.
LightWire
Limitation in Init()s
Peter Bell discusses a limitation that currently exists in his dependency injection framework. Basically, because of how dependencies are injected into the constructor, you cannot (currently) call a method on an injected object within the constructor. Peter has informed me however that he intends to correct this issue soon.
Finally a Little Professional Help
Peter discusses my recent post in which I took a close look at LightWire and even managed to do some code cleanup and bug fixes.

Codenamed "Gonzales" has been released as a public beta via SVN. It includes things like a new installer, new custom type features and new client-side features (using Ajax).
