FW/1 2.5 is released!

This is a migration release to pave the way for breaking changes in Release 3.0. All examples have been updated to latest best practices and now use cfcscript exclusively. Examples use DI/1 0.5.0 to manage all beans and services (as framework.ioc), and no longer rely on start/end actions or the service() method.

As always, FW/1 can be downloaded from the FW/1 GitHub Releases page. Release 2.5 is now the latest stable release of this framework, as it approaches its fifth birthday!

Migration from 2.2.1

The service() call has been deprecated, as have start/end action items. Global access to rc in Application.cfc has also been deprecated. If you just drop 2.5 into your setup and you rely on these features, you’ll get exceptions explaining how to enable these features for backward compatibility, namely add the following to your framework configuration:

enableGlobalRC = true,
suppressServiceQueue = false

The ability to enable the implicit service calls is still present via:

suppressImplicitService = false

but, like the other two options, defaults to disallowing the deprecated feature.

If you enable these deprecated features, you will no longer get exceptions using them, but you will see deprecation warnings in your application server’s console log. This is to remind you to update your code in preparation for 3.0 later this year!

Please note that Release 3.0 will completely remove these backward compatibility options - and the associated deprecated features. In addition, org.corfield.framework will move to framework.one in Release 3.0, alongside framework.ioc.
