Some developers that reported having the issue were using legacy classic ASP and others were using ColdFusion. I believe we've been using the PayPal DoDirectPayment API since it was introduced back in 2002.<br />At some point, PayPal added the following undated disclaimer to their documentation. (According to Microsoft Copilot, "PayPal's NVP (Name-Value Pair) API was marked as "legacy" around October 12th, 2021".)<br />CFPayment (retired) supports WPP & Payflow, but not the new REST API method. Searching online for "ColdFusion (or cfml) paypal rest api" didn't return anything beneficial, so it became apparent that there was a need for a solution... any solution.<br />James Moberg has an updated Paypal Rest API Cfc available here: https://dev.to/gamesover/coldfusion-paypal-rest-api-cfc-339p <br />Secure Your ColdFusion Perpetual License Before Adobe’s Subscription-Only Switch<br />Following Adobe’s announcement at the Adobe ColdFusion Summit in Las Vegas, ColdFusion will transition to a subscription-only licensing model. This major shift in licensing strategy means developers and organizations have a limited window to secure their final perpetual ColdFusion license.<br />While we don’t know the date for the Adobe switch, FusionReactor customers have an exclusive opportunity to secure their last perpetual license and save significantly in the process. This final offer has been extended to December 31, 2024, giving organizations more months to make this crucial decision.<br /><a href="https://fusion-reactor.com/blog/secure-your-coldfusion-perpetual-license-before-adobes-subscription-only-switch/%20">https://fusion-reactor.com/blog/secure-your-coldfusion-perpetual-license-before-adobes-subscription-only-switch/ </a></p>Microsoft Copilot is a little Snarky about ColdFusion 😛</p><strong><br />New Releases and Updates</strong></p><em>Introducing CBSSO: Simplifying OAuth and SAML for ColdBox Applications</em><br />Ortus Solutions has unveiled its latest innovation, CBSSO, a game-changing module for ColdBox applications. CBSSO is designed to make integrating with OAuth and SAML identity providers easier than ever before, significantly reducing the complexity of managing Single Sign-On (SSO) flows. Whether your users authenticate through Google, Microsoft, Facebook, or custom identity providers, CBSSO streamlines the entire process.For CFML and ColdFusion developers, dealing with identity provider integrations can often feel like navigating through a labyrinth of documentation, redirects, and configurations. That’s where CBSSO comes in. By handling the technical details, CBSSO allows developers to focus on ...</p>

It’s just an upgrade listener which will upgrade any WS requests.<br />This websocket integration will work for Lucee, Adobe, and BoxLang alike as it passes incoming messages to the app via an "internal" HTTP request to /WebSocket.cfc?method=onProcess where the CF/BL code can handle it. The incoming request will have all cookies, headers, hostname, etc that the original websocket connection was started with, so normal CGI variables and session scopes should work fine.<br />You need to create a custom /WebSocket.cfc class that should extend the modules.socketbox.models.WebSocketCore class in this library which provides the base functionality.<br /><a href="https://www.forgebox.io/view/socketbox%20">https://www.forgebox.io/view/socketbox </a><br /><a href="https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/introducing-socketbox-a-new-websocket-library/10381/1">https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/introducing-socketbox-a-new-websocket-library/10381/1</a></p><strong>New Releases and Updates<br /></strong><br /><em>TestBox v6.0.0 Release</em><br />TestBox 6.x is a major update to the testing framework, introducing key improvements like full support for BoxLang. With this release, users can write tests, specs, and harnesses directly in BoxLang. A new BoxLang CLI runner simplifies running specs and bundles without needing a web server. Additionally, the CLI now detects BoxLang projects, adds headless web server testing with the bx-web-support module, and includes dynamic assertion methods for cleaner test writing. Significant new features include environment helpers, display name annotations, and improved debugging and matcher functions. <br /><a href="https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/testbox-v600-release%20">https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/testbox-v600-release </a></p><em>qb v10 is BoxLang Certified<br /></em><br /><em>Hyper v7.5.3 is BoxLang Certified<br /></em><br /><em>Upgrade to FusionReactor 12.1.1 Now: Defect in FusionReactor 12.1.0 That Can Potentially Disable Metrics Shipper</em><br />On September 26th, 2024, we learned of a bug affecting some customers who upgraded to FusionReactor Agent version 12.1.0. <br />We want to provide a detailed account of the bug, its impact, and the steps we’ve taken to resolve it.

But there really is a lot more to working with them than simply "setting a given url to run on a given schedule" (did you know it could be a CFC, for instance? Did you know about the cron time feature? Did you know about clustering scheduled tasks--even with ColdFusion Standard?). Besides there being more features than many may realize, there are also some common problems people face when running them, and there are tools and techniques to help with that.<br />In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with several ways to create them (yes, even more than just cfschedule and the CF Admin UI) then more on those more advanced/easily missed features, as well as tools and techniques for solving common problems with them. We'll also explore configuration files and features for managing tasks. Finally we'll also cover ways CF scheduled tasks may NOT work well and discuss alternatives to them.<br /><a href="https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/302616793/?eventOrigin=group_events_list%20">https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/302616793/?eventOrigin=group_events_list </a></p><br /><em>ICYMI - Online ColdFusion Meetup Group - "Getting Started with BoxLang Runtimes", with Luis Majano & Brad Wood</em><br />BoxLang is a new application server released by Ortus Solutions.

If you're interested in what the Call For Papers for CFCamp 2024 looked like - it's still online on papercall.io (but now closed as of end of March 2024).</p>So far, we have confirmed and announced 20 sessions. There are still a few more to come, stay tuned.</p>The sessions will be assigned to slots and rooms a bit closer to the event.<br /><a href="https://www.cfcamp.org/sessions.html%20">https://www.cfcamp.org/sessions.html </a></p><em>Redis changed license - and spawned ValKey</em></p>Redis, a tremendously popular tool for storing data in-memory rather than in a database, recently switched its licensing from an open source BSD license to both a Source Available License and a Server Side Public License (SSPL).</p>The software project and company supporting it were fairly clear in why they did this. Redis CEO Rowan Trollope wrote on March 20 that while Redis and volunteers sponsored the bulk of the project's code development, "the majority of Redis’ commercial sales are channeled through the largest cloud service providers, who commoditize Redis’ investments and its open source community." Clarifying a bit, "cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge."</p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/04/redis-license-change-and-forking-are-a-mess-that-everybody-can-feel-bad-about/%20">https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/04/redis-license-change-and-forking-are-a-mess-that-everybody-can-feel-bad-about/ </a></p><em>Vercel Releasing new Pricing July 21st<br /></em><br />Vercel pricing is going from golden to arm and a leg of gold.<br />Look at using your own VPS and save $$$<br />Example: <a href="https://x.com/themsaid/status/1776114395371684166%20">https://x.com/themsaid/status/1776114395371684166 </a></p><br /><strong>New Releases and Updates</strong></p><br /><em>ICYMI - Quick 7.4 – 8</em><br />New hasManyDeep relationship and revamped hasManyThrough.<br />Better performance, correct constraints, and increased readability.</p><a href="https://quick.ortusbooks.com/whats-new">https://quick.ortusbooks.com/whats-new</a></p><em>ICYMI - qb 9.8</em><br />New withAlias function that will automatically rename fully qualified columns with the old name or alias.<br /><a href="https://qb.ortusbooks.com/whats-new">https://qb.ortusbooks.com/whats-new</a></p><em>ICYMI - Megaphone 1.0.1</em><br />Uses the default cbMailServices email provider and logs success and failure by default.<br /><a href="https://megaphone.ortusbooks.com/whats-new">https://megaphone.ortusbooks.com/whats-new</a></p><br /><strong>Webinars, Meetups and Workshops<br /></strong><br /><em>CF Summit Online</em><br />Charlie Arehart has provided all the links for this</p>List of Sessions, Descriptions and Links: <a href="https://adobe-coldfusion-online-summit-2024.attendease.com/sessions-on-demand/">https://adobe-coldfusion-online-summit-2024.attendease.com/sessions-on-demand/</a> <br />Youtube Playlist of the Sessions: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3iywAijqFoXrJ7jHdw-A1vNl-JB-iDQ7%20">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3iywAijqFoXrJ7jHdw-A1vNl-JB-iDQ7 <br /></a><br />ICYMI - Mid-Michigan CFUG - Charlie Arehart - What if no one is monitoring your DB server? <br />April 9th<br />Blog on the topic: <a href="https://www.carehart.org/blog/2024/4/9/presenting_on_db_monitoring%20">https://www.carehart.org/blog/2024/4/9/presenting_on_db_monitoring </a><br />Recording: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu1ueRydgyM%20">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu1ueRydgyM </a></p><br /><strong>CFCasts Content Updates<br /></strong><br /><a href="https://www.cfcasts.com">https://www.cfcasts.com</a></p><em>Recent Releases</em></p><ul><li>Intro Dark mode implementation tailwind<ul><li><a href="https://www.cfcasts.com/series/dark-mode-implementation-with-tailwind-css/videos/intro-dark-mode-implementation-tailwind-final-(1)">https://www.cfcasts.com/series/dark-mode-implementation-with-tailwind-css/videos/intro-dark-mode-implementation-tailwind-final-(1)</a> </li></ul></li><li>Installation tailwind<ul><li><a href="https://www.cfcasts.com/series/dark-mode-implementation-with-tailwind-css/videos/installation-tailwind-final-(2)">https://www.cfcasts.com/series/dark-mode-implementation-with-tailwind-css/videos/installation-tailwind-final-(2)</a></li></ul></li><li>What's New in the Ortus ORM Extension?<ul><li><a href="https://www.cfcasts.com/series/ortus-bytes/videos/what's-new-in-the-ortus-orm-extension%20">https://www.cfcasts.com/series/ortus-bytes/videos/what's-new-in-the-ortus-orm-extension </a></li></ul></li><li>CBStorages - ForgeBox Module of the Week - 04/02/24 - Episode 213<ul><li><a href="https://www.cfcasts.com/series/2024-2024-forgebox-module-of-the-week/videos/cbstorages-forgebox-module-of-the-week-040224-episode-213">https://www.cfcasts.com/series/2024-2024-forgebox-module-of-the-week/videos/cbstorages-forgebox-module-of-the-week-040224-episode-213</a></li></ul></li><li>Rainglow Themes - VSCode Hint Tip and Trick of the Week - 04/02/24 - Episode 213<ul><li><a href="https://www.cfcasts.com/series/2024-vscode-hint-tip-and-trick-of-the-week/videos/rainglow-themes-vscode-hint-tip-and-trick-of-the-week-040224-episode-213%20">https://www.cfcasts.com/series/2024-vscode-hint-tip-and-trick-of-the-week/videos/rainglow-themes-vscode-hint-tip-and-trick-of-the-week-040224-episode-213 </a></li></ul></li></ul><br /><strong>Conferences and Training<br /></strong><br /><em>CF Summit East - NEXT WEEK!!!!</em><br />Wednesday, April 24, 2024 - FREE<br />8:00am - 4:00pm <br />Carahsoft Conference & Collaboration Center<br />11493 Sunset Hills Road,<br />Reston, VA 20190<br />Registr...</p>
