11/10/2023, 4:15 PMHey mauro! The serialization is also different. 23 maintains types better but that might bite you if you were dependent on 1 becoming true for example, or “1” becoming 1.

11/10/2023, 4:17 PMThere are jvm flags for both of those mentioned, date and serialization, to maintain backwards compatibility until you sort out the code.

11/10/2023, 5:01 PMYou can absolutely install the entire engine, which includes everything in CF2018 and more. You ALSO have the option of starting with a bare engine and adding packages.

11/10/2023, 5:02 PMThere are 2 downloads available, the "zip" installer is the barebones, lightweight option.

11/10/2023, 7:27 PM2023, has an ultra-lightweight install option. It seems to use slightly less memory, and the plugin for vs code is far cleaner than the older ellipse-based CFbuilder. The in-place install or upgrade works, provided you restart the services associated with it, live swapping enterprise cluster sessions work without issue. IN 2016 -> 2018 & 2018 ;--> 2021 this never worked.
