Macromedia Announces Updater 3

March 19, 2003 -- Good news! Updater 3 is now available, and according to Phil Costa, Senior Product Manager at Macromedia, the focus of this updater is stability. "We've been working with customers, particularly in the ColdFusion community. We think we've gotten on top of most of the issues."

In addition to a heavy focus on web server connector stability, says Costa, Macromedia has released the source code for the connector, ensuring that users can integrate ColdFusion with current and future versions of the Apache Web Server.

Programmers who use Bob Denny's Website will be happy to hear that there's a new Website connector for CFMX.

Updater 3 also brings the ColdFusion MX Server and ColdFusion for J2EE products onto a common code base, with all fixes available for both products.

Macromedia has also included several updates to ColdFusion, including version 1.0 of the Apache Axis web services engine, as well as updated database drivers, and fixes for some internationalization issues related to doube-byte characters.
