Known issues in this release
- An exception occurs if an attempt is made to index a zipped directory containing powerpoint file(s).
- Adminservlet war was being copied even though the remote admin component had been disabled. If you install/uninstall the update, ensure that you delete the folders present inside the [CF Home]\[Instance Name]\jetty\work directory, and restart the ColdFusionAddonServices after update is installed. This ensures that the latest changes are picked up by the Jetty server.
- CF-4204191: The CreateODBCDateTime() function was using epoch time as 01-FEB-1970. Now it is fixed to use ColdFusion's epoch time, 30-DEC-1899.
- When using single-line lambdas in built-in functions, use an explicit return statement within braces (for example, (item) => {return item.rating >= 3;})
- If you have added a whitelisted IP address, it is not removed even after you have uninstalled the update.
- Web pages do not render as expected when document root of Apache contains localized characters. As a work-around, create a document root with only English characters.
- CF-4198851: For the fix for “PBKDF2WithSHA256 algorithm is not supported by the security provider” bug, ensure the JDK used is JDK 10 or higher.
Known issues reported after the update
- CF-4205250: A <cfoutput> tag outside a function call causes a nested tag error if the function call contains a <cfoutput query="">.

- CF-4205246: A UDF with a Fat arrow do not always parse as expected.
- CF-4205247: When you pass a UDF with a Fat arrow into a BIF with no curly braces around, the body causes a parsing error.
- CF-4205248: When you pass a Fat arrow function to a BIF with a default value on one of the parameters, an error occurs.
