12/01/2022, 6:59 PM@Jim Priest To be clear, it's not a custom CommandBox build, it's just a package on ForgeBox like the other CF engines.

12/01/2022, 7:03 PMrecommending versions these days (specifically with CF) is a bit of an assault course when you take into account db support
salted
12/01/2022, 7:04 PMFor our clients that use MSSQL there's no practical reason not to upgrade since MS prioritise backwards compat but when you look at the CF support matrix and don't see the version you're using it does put you off
