Release Candidate For Mach II Is Now Available
By: Sean Corfield
I just noticed that Mach-II 1.6.0 Release Candidate 1 has just been released!
I remember looking at early builds of 1.6.0 some time ago and being very impressed by the additional features. It’s great to see it reach RC status (in time for MAX?).
You can read the What’s New in 1.6 wiki page to learn about the recent additions. I had already used the publish/subscribe listener invocation (more like Model-Glue), the improved Application.cfc integration and the ColdSpring Property (which replaces the old Plugin).
The major new features in 1.6 are caching and logging which were not in the early build I was using, unfortunately (for me!).
Official support is provided for Adobe ColdFusion MX 7 / 8, Open BlueDragon 7+, New Atlanta BlueDragon 7+ (but not BlueDragon.NET - which I was a bit surprised by). They’re hoping to add official support for Railo soon - but have heard that it runs just fine on that engine.
