Free Version of ColdFusion Available

Simon McLean pointed out in a comment that there is now a free version of ColdFusion being developed by New Atlanta. The project sounds pretty cool:

“Most organizations today are faced with choosing between J2EE and .NET as their strategic technology platform," said Vince Bonfanti, President of New Atlanta Communications. "This decision can be particularly troublesome for organizations with significant resources invested in CFML. BlueDragon gives these organizations the freedom to choose either J2EE or .NET with confidence that their CFML applications can be integrated and deployed on either platform." [1]

  • CF on the CLR would be great to see !!

  • Yes, and New Atlanta are working hard to make their forthcoming release as compatible as possible with the current Macromedia release (ColdFusion MX 6.1).



    The free server product has some tags and functions disabled and is mostly compatible with Macromedia ColdFusion 5 - for example, it does not offer ColdFusion Components (added in the 2002 release of Macromedia ColdFusion MX).

  • We are upgrading our server to 2003 servr.We have few websites wrote with ColdFusion 5. Could I run my old website on the new server without changing the code.
