Adobe updates ColdFusion

Presentation tools specialist Adobe today launched the latest version of its ColdFusion software designed to give developers of web sites and internet applications sizeable performance gains, expanded support and tight integration with other Adobe products.

ColdFusion 8, previously in beta, has been engineered to run apps roughly three to four times faster than previous versions, due to "lots of low-level fine tuning", according to the firm's ColdFusion evangelist Ben Forta.

"We started very early on in the development process doing analysis on what parts of the engine were hit most often, so we could tweak milliseconds out," he added.

Version 8 also features support for .Net, Windows Vista, Mac OSX, JBoss and 64-bit Solaris, as well as Adobe offerings such as AIR, Flex and PDF, the firm said.

"In addition, Ajax support has proven very popular [among the beta testers] – a lot of people want to build next generation user interfaces and we help to simplify this," added Forta.
