Use ColdFusion and .Net and Upgrading to 9.01?

Make sure you uninstall the ColdFusion 9.0 .NET bridge and install the 9.01 bridge.  I forgot on one server and you guessed it, it wont work till you upgrade the connector.

Other then that it was simple.

ColdFusion 9.01 is released

ColdFusion 9.01 is now released.

This is a relatively pain free upgrade. I upgraded http://www.learncf.com and http://www.flexcf.com today ( Win2k3, IIS 6.0 ) with no more then stopping IIS stopping ColdFusion 9 and running the installer. A reboot was not required. 9.01 ships with JDK 1.6.17 where as ColdFusion 9.0 was 1.6.14 this may have some performance increases.

Here is the update link: http://www.adobe.com/go/getcf901

Here is are the release notes: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/releasenotes.html

Learn CF and Flex CF are on ColdFusion 9

We have finally got around to upgrading LearnCF and FlexCF to ColdFusion 9.

We are now taking demos for ColdFusion 9 so if you have some cool little tricks or even just some example code feel free to contact me directly or use the submission form on the site.

I think I should be fine with ORM even though we use Application.cfc on the site just make sure that you use the cfartgallery database for the demo ( till we get multiple database support for ORM ).

The upgrade ( performed by Dale Fraser ) was pretty straight forward and there was a neat trick used to migrate from CF8 to CF9 which I may mention later as I didn't think about this at all till informed by Steve Onis of Nova Host.

iPhone iOS 4 and Battery Life

Since upgrading to iPhone OS 4.0 I have started to see decreased battery life. One of the main features ( or the main feature ) that I use is email. I have it connected to my main gmail account and my work Exchange account. Reading email always chewed through the battery but now it seems even worse.

We use a hosted Exchange provider which has been fairly good and trouble free and it's really nice to not have to maintain MS Exchange ( I used to be a sysadmin responsible for several Exchange boxes ).

Yesterday I received a notification email from our provider advising us of an ssue with iOS 4.0 with which Active sync no longer works correctly. While I didn't notice this at all ( an neither did any of the 7 other iPhone users in the office ) I followed through with the update. Unfortunately it didn't make a difference to the battery life and pretty much everyone else in the office is in the same boat.
Anyone else suffering and have any advice?
