Download

Linux

  1. Extract the zip file pdfg.zip.
  2. Stop ColdFusion Add-on services.

queryExecute

Issue #1

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

Workaround

  1. Sttop ColdFusion service.
  2. Copy the jar file in cf_home/[instance]/lib/update.
  3. Delete all the class files in cf_home/[instance]/wwwroot/WEB-INF/cfclasses.
  4. Restart ColdFusion service.
  5. Repeat the steps for each instance.

Issue #2

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

Scheduler

Scheduled tasks are missing.

Workaround

If you have scheduled tasks migrated from a previous version of ColdFusion, backup the tasks before applying the update. Manually edit a backup copy of neo-crons.xml  by adding the following to each task.

<var name=’clustered’>

    <boolean value=’false’/>

</var>
