    Tacking on a couple of things from this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using/whats-new.html • Under "Other additions and changes" ◦ "Bitwise Operator Support in Query of Queries:" "Bitwise" is misspelled in the link ("Birwise") ◦ "*Modulus operator in Query of Queries*:" "first sentence ends in "numbers1." • Under "Language Changes" ◦ "*Support for final static methods*:" link for "final" goes to a 404 ◦ "*FileUpload changes*:" The linked page is https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-e-g/fileupload.html but on that destination page, the newly added parameter "continueOnError" is not included in the "Function Syntax" block at the top of the page ◦ "*DirectoryList function enhancements*:" the link to the directoryList function goes to a 404 ◦ "*Additional information on cfdump output of a Java class*:" just a passing thought about the destination page https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags/tags-d-e/cfdump.html - why does this page even mention "Internet Explorer"?

    I went to check updates to see if the things I mentioned and were fixed got launched, and something seems to have gotten worse - the CFML Reference is gone! I go here, https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-tags-functions-reference-user-guide.html, and... there's text, but no reference

    The docs for queryExecute, https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-m-r/queryexecute.html, mention that returnType was added as an attribute, but there is no documentation on how to use it. Is it a fourth argument? Is it an option in the struct passed as the third argument?

    Sorry - another page to fix. The download page (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html#cf-download0) has a section "Download Adobe ColdFusion (2025 release) API Manager" and when it's expanded, under "ADD-ON INSTALLERS FOR COLDFUSION (2025 RELEASE) API MANAGER" it refers to 2021 and not 2025.

    This probably applies to more pages, but on fileSeek, the "System functions" link in Category doesn't work right: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-e-g/fileseek.html

    This probably applies to more pages, but when showing code w/ file separators, like the example here, https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-e-g/fileread.html, switch to / vs \ as / will work in Windows/Unix environments.

    On the functions by category page, https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-by-category.html, some of the links use a new tab and some don't. I'd set em to not use a new tab. There's no need

    I have to ask for clarification re: CF2025. On the pages for Deprecated Features ( https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/deprecated-features.html fifth row in the tabled under "Feature") it clearly states "CFMX_Compat encryption algorithm. Removed the algorithm from the following functions:" and goes on to list the functions. Unfortunately, on the Encrypt page ( https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-e-g/encrypt.html ) it states nothing about removing the CFMX_COMPAT option, just that the default algorithm has been changed -- which it actually was previously (see bullet 2 under History). Can you please clarify - here and in the documents - has CFMX_COMPAT been removed completely as an option?

    Hey everyone--great to join this channel with you all! Would greatly appreciate if someone could comment on this snippet from the external session storage doc: Once a session object is received from Redis, there can be changes to the object within the timespan of a given request. The session is persisted (if modified) back to external storage on request end. The changes made by the current request on one node are available to all other nodes. https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using/external-session-storage.html As part of my organization's move to a cluster of cf server instances, we're also moving to storing sessions in a redis cache. Some places in the app make remote invocations via fetch request to first modify the session in some way, then before that request has finished, re-fetch some data which may or may not use the newly modified state. This was fine while we were storing session in memory, but we're finding that the modified state is getting overwritten by the second request (perhaps because that second request pulls from the cache before it was modified by the first request). This is all happening on 1 server using the cache, as we haven't moved to the cluster yet. Ideally, we'd make 1 single request that does both, but going through our huge legacy app to find where this might happen would be a nightmare. I'm wondering if our situation is something other people have seen--because the documentation makes it seem like the modified session should be available to both requests?

    just a heads up - this page in the docs https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-s/spreadsheetremovecolumnbreak.html looks like it wants to be linked to from the left sidebar nav (under Coldfusion functions > Functions-s), but the link there is https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/content/help/[…]coldfusion-functions/functions-s/spreadsheetremovecolumnbreak which 404s.

    https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-e-g/generatesecretkey.html We're on CF23 which, with latest patch level is on JVM 17. The documentation in the link above states keysize is limited to 128 bit unless the Java Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files are installed. However, it seems GenerateSecretKey("AES", 256) works fine and we have not installed those Java files. Is the documentation possibly outdated? Can we safely assume 256 keysize is safe to use in CF23+?

    Typo (I believe): https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/configuring-administering/using-the-coldfusion-administrator.html - section"Administrator API" for "collection.cfc" in the table it says: Managa ColdFusion collections. Actions include reloading collections and enabling highlighting for collections. Managa? Maybe that should be "Manage" like in other entries?

    on the same page, typo, no space before the last sentence:
    Copy code
    Assume that the form fields have same name. In this case, ColdFusion converts the form fields as an array instead of a <http://list.To|list.To> do this, in the Application.cfc, specify the following: this.sameformfieldsasarray = "true".The default value is false.

    as i continue to read, there are many things not listed in the table. i understand something may need more text to explain, but the table reads like it should contain everything, so at minimum, id expect a table row for every item, and if need be, something like, "Detailed below."
