Known issues in this release

Scheduler

Issue #1

A daily/monthly task when modified to set a crontime , does not set as expected.

Issue #2

Scheduled tasks are missing.

queryExecute

Issue #1

If you assign the result of a QueryExecute directly to a bracket style variable reference, an exception occurs.

Issue #2

An exception occurs when returning the result of queryExecute from a function in a CFC.

Collections

You are unable to create collections after upgrading Jetty manually.

Workaround

When using a higher non-default Java with Solr, while starting Solr add the following argument:

--add-opens=java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED to JVM.

For example,

java --add-opens=java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED -jar start.jar

Installer

The update installer looks for the cfscripts folder if the folder is moved toa different location.

ORM

Specifying a datasource on a persistent CFC with secondary caching enabled returns the error:

Another CacheManager with the same name 'cacheName' already exists.
