Today I released the first FW/1 Version 2.2 Release Candidate for testing. See below for the list of changes in this release, compared to Version 2.1. I also released a maintenance update for the old compatibility branch: FW/1 Version 1.3 (the “Latest Release” label is due to Github’s view of the world, but it is the latest 1.x release). This is the version to use if you’re on CFMX 7, CF 8, CF 9.0.0, Railo versions prior to 3.2, or OpenBD.
In addition to these two releases, I also added milestones (and dates!) for the next two FW/1 releases: 2.5 and 3.0. There are some fairly big changes coming, including some important breaking changes. I’ll post a follow-up with more details on why these changes are coming, but you should read the FW/1 Roadmap and start thinking about how these changes will affect you (as well as reading the next blog post, of course!).
As always, FW/1 wouldn’t be possible without all the contributions from the community. This version includes contributions from John Berquist (regex caching in routes, resource packs in routes), Marco Betschart, Chris Blackwell, Peter Boughton, Will Coleda, Billy Cravens, Mark Drew, and all those who have provided feedback via the mailing list and Twitter and IM and… Thank you!
