Gert Franz just announced the release of Railo 3.0 and one of the important changes for many CFers is that this release combines the previous Community and Professional editions into a single free edition with no restrictions for use (it’s a single “web” with no clustering support but there’s always the commercial Enterprise edition if you need those features).

Railo 3.0 features improved compatibility with ColdFusion 8 including cfimage, cfdbinfo, cfpdf, cfzip, attributeCollection=, native JSON support and JavaScript-style operators.

In addition, Railo 3.0 now supports Amazon S3 as a native resource type and introduces a task manager feature that can be driven by extensions to the cfthread tag.

All-in-all, a very compelling release from Railo!
