ColdFusion 10 in public Beta

Well ColdFusion 10 has been made into public Beta.  This is great news.  There are quite a few changes and one of the most significant to me ( I hope ) will be the easy path to patch my servers.  I currently look after a large number of server behind a very active load balancer and it's quite costly in terms on time to upgrade each server.  There are multiple other good introductions with ColdFusion 10 but that's my favourite at the moment.

Some others include:

• Unique HTML5 built-in support to deliver richer interfaces without prior knowledge of HTML5
• Improved web services support using revamped engine and built-in support for REST
• Security enhancements to protect applications with new secure profile, improved authentication and encryption.
• Scheduler improvements to manage application-specific tasks, event handling, grouping, and chaining of tasks
• Built-in Tomcat server replacing Adobe JRun leading to performance improvements
• Instant notification and One-click Hotfix installer for updates
• Object Relational Mapping to build database independent applications without writing SQL
• Bi-directional Java integradfgtion to dynamically load libraries and invoke ColdFusion components (CFCs) from Java
