Full press-release:
SAN JOSE, Calif. — May 30, 2007 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE)
today announced the public beta of Adobe ® ColdFusion® 8 software.
ColdFusion 8, designed for developers building dynamic Web sites and
Internet applications, addresses day-to-day development challenges to
increase developer productivity, integrates with complex enterprise
environments, and delivers rich and engaging application experiences for
users. The ColdFusion 8 public beta is a feature complete preview, allowing
developers to immediately experience increased efficiency and simplicity
when building Internet applications.
Customers of all sizes have actively participated in the ColdFusion public
beta and found the solution offers many compelling reasons to upgrade.
“ColdFusion 8 delivers several enhancements that boost day-to-day
productivity,” said Brian Rinaldi, ColdFusion Developer, Distributed
Computing Group, Sun Life Financial. “Features such as debugging and server
monitoring accelerate routine development and maintenance—and can really
make a difference when it comes to keeping service levels high and
applications running smoothly.”
By leveraging Adobe Flex™ technology and Ajax™-based components, ColdFusion
8 enables developers to design and deploy rich, engaging applications by
integrating complex environments into intuitive interfaces. The new
ColdFusion 8 development environment also features advanced Eclipse™-based
wizards and debugging, letting developers build applications and identify
and fix problems easier than in previous versions. The ColdFusion 8 Server
Monitor lets developers swiftly identify bottlenecks and tune the server for
better performance.
ColdFusion 8 integrates with an extremely broad range of platforms and
systems. This expanded support – including integration with .NET assemblies,
support for Microsoft® Windows® Vista and new J2EE servers including JBoss®
– gives ColdFusion enhanced flexibility, interoperability, and scalability
for a variety of applications in even the largest of enterprises.
ColdFusion 8 also delivers significant performance gains over ColdFusion MX
7 and earlier versions of the product. Additionally, ColdFusion 8
applications interact with Adobe PDF® documents and forms for a printable,
portable way to intelligently capture information.
“Developer anticipation for ColdFusion 8 has been at an all time high since
MAX 2006,” said David Mendels, senior vice president of Enterprise and
Developer Solutions at Adobe. “This is the first release of ColdFusion under
the Adobe brand, and now developers can seamlessly integrate their
ColdFusion applications with other Adobe technologies such as Flex, Apollo,
LiveCycle and even PDF to further the evolution of engagement over the Web.”
The ColdFusion 8 public beta is immediately available at Adobe Labs at
