More on new features in BlueDragon 6.2

Beyond the .NET edition and overall improvements, there's also a lot that's new in the 6.2 release. Among the new tags are:

• Support for previously missing new or enhanced tags from CFMX: CFLOGIN, CFLOGINUSER, and CFFUNCTION security roles; CFHTTP and CFMAIL enhancements; try/catch within CFSCRIPT; and CFTRACE
• New tags: CFCACHECONTENT, CFCONTINUE, CFTHROTTLE, CFXMLRPC, and CFZIP/CFZIPPARAM
• New functions: GetBytesSent, GetHttpContext, ListRemoveDuplicates, QueryDeleteRow, QuerySort, Render
• Precompiled templates can have an expiration date (you can set your CFML templates to expire on a given date)
• and other various improvements

See the docs for more details on these features, available at http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/self_help/docs/index.cfm.

For the .NET edition, it's also worth noting that we've enabled several useful features, some (the last 4) that are very different from traditional integration available between CFML and Java/JSP:

• sharing session and application variables with ASP.NET pages (set/get in either direction)
• ability to "include" ASP.NET pages from CFML and "include" CFML pages from ASP.NET
• ability to call CFML custom tags from ASP.NET
• ability to call .NET objects from CFML
• ability to invoke CFCs from ASP.NET
• ability to drop CFML inline into an ASP.NET page (different from features above)

There are many other benefits of integration of CFML and ASP.NET, as well as just from running CFML on the .NET Framework. For more information, see the manual, "Deploying CFML on ASP.NET Servers", available at the URL offered above.
