I'm sitting the keynote for cfObjective. Jason Delmore of Adobe is presenting and talking about how well ColdFusion is doing and about the latest 8.0.1 release. The topic now is Centaur, the new version of ColdFusion. I'll be updating this blog entry as he speaks, so please be sure to reload.

Centaur is well underway he said. Adobe is still accepting and looking for new ideas so feel free to share.

What kind of themes are being focused in for CF9?

Tooling (new IDE perhaps?)
RIA (big surprise there)

9:32 AM - Adobe has a commercial relationship with ExtJS. Good news for CF/Ajax users.

9:32AM "ColdFusion Open Process Initiative"

There was a medical emergency. I believe the person is ok - but the keynote was aborted.

"Adobe has a commercial relationship with ExtJS. Good news for CF/Ajax users." Does this mean CF developers are licensed to use the newer (2.1) version of ExtJS without having to purchase a license or are we limited to the CF functionality?

@MS - I don't think that's it exactly. But I've forwarded your comment on to Jason. Like me, he is at cfObjective, so it may take a while for a response.

The commercial agreement means that we will be working with EXT JS to improve our overall AJAX feature set in a "future release" of ColdFusion. That release will include license changes around EXT JS. We'll provide more information when that happens. :)
