If you've ever updated Railo, you probably found it very easy to do with our one-click install. Just click the update button on the Server admin and you're done! And if you need to remove an installed update, you can easily uninstall the latest (or all) patches with just a few more clicks.

But what if you need to install version 3.2.2.000, or 3.1.2.001, because that's what your client runs on? Or perhaps you'd like to test how much faster Railo Server became between version 1.0 and 3.3?

Well today, we are happy to announce the Railo Server archive, where you can find versions of Railo Server going all the way back to Railo 1.0! The archive is not yet complete, but almost all main versions and all release candidates for 3.3 are now online and downloadable!

Check it out at http://www.getrailo.org/index.cfm/download/olderversions/

Did you know that you can use <cfloop collection="anyarray" key="sthg"> in Railo? This is possible since in Railo both structs and arrays are based on the same basic Java object. So I got a tip from our dev team that <cfloop collection="array"> works as well. So let's try it out.

I have been asked several times to describe how to create and use a Railo archive. This entry also describes how to include images inside an archive.

Today I found an interesting blog entry related to Railo in Sean Corfield's blog.

He has downloaded and installed the beta of Railo 1.1 for the first time. According to his blog, Sean who is one of the authors of Fusebox seemed to be quite impressed with the performance and the features of Railo.
Well I hope we can surprise him a little more, when we go on tour on the west coast next month.
Or you can come, see and meet us at Scotch.

It sounds like a tour of a rock band. Well we decided to take a trip through the United States towards the end of June. Starting on the CFUNITED which I will attend only myself, we will fly to San Francisco, Sacramento and maybe the Los Angeles area. We would be very happy, if you would attend some of the CFUG meetings where we will present the latest release of Railo 1.1. We will inform you about the details in time.

The first presentation will take place at the Scotch on the Rocks on June 1th. I am really looking forward to beeing there. After that, on June 7th we will be at the London CFUG and present Railo to the interested audience.

Railo 1.1 offers a new way of handling and more flexibility with auto include files. Auto include files for CFMX are application.cfm, application.cfc and onRequestEnd.cfm

There are some security concerns about using datasources that I would like to share with you. It is concerning the general usage of datasources, no matter which CFML engine you use.

As you may know, CFML offers the possibility to cache a query whithin a certain timespan. While working on the tag <cfcache> we thought about improving the tag by a certain option we would like to have your opinion about.

A major disadvantage of generated code is the size of the generated html. When you have something like <cfscript> this may not be an issue since the complete code generates no output unless you use something like echo() or writeOutput().

The next beta release of Railo 1.1 is out. In this release some new tags have been implemented. Railo 1.1.005 now contains the following tags:

• <cftrace>
• <cfproperty>
• <cfstoredproc>
• <cfprocparam>
• <cfprocresult>

In addition to that Railo 1.1.005 now supports additional attributes in the tags <cfcomponent>, <cffunction>, <cfargument> and <cfproperty>.

If you have any issues with the new tags or other functionalities please let us know. We are doing a lot of testing in order to release a highly stable release candidate soon.
