Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 is the highly-anticipated upcoming major release of ColdFusion. The public beta release provides developers with the opportunity to begin building applications with new ColdFusion 8 features as well as test their existing applications on the new version.

  • Image creation and manipulation with more than 50 new CFML tags and functions.
