ColdFusion Open-Source Update - May 18, 2009

Posted on May 18, 2009

Two new projects and and six updates this week. With cf.Objective() just ending, there were some big announcements including the new version of Model-Glue, a new payment gateway component by Brian Ghidinelli (cfPayment) and some changes to CFGroovy. Sorry I missed the conference. I am however at 360Flex and really enjoying it. Plus, as a side benefit, this conference made me miss the complete failure that was last night's Celtics game.
