(Relatively) on time for once! - Here's the roundup of ColdFusion Framework News for July, grouped by Framework in alphabetical order for your convenience... (I know, some articles have been posted more than once - I was in two minds what to do with items that covered more than one framework...)

Slightly later than usual but here is a round up of all the ColdFusion related framewoorks news in June.

Sammy Larbi has released version 0.2.5 of the Cfrails frameworks. It includes a number of changes including Spry integration for form validation, improvements to database support and more documentation.

A busy month for Joe Rinehart who launched Model-Glue:Flex, described as "a conceptual port of Model-Glue implicit invocation framework to ActionScript 3 and Flex" and also version 2.0.304 of Model Glue.

Luis F. Majano celebrated the 4th of July (Yes I know this is the June update) by releasing a ColdBox dictionary to give you function and scope insight for CFEclipse, this rocks check it out.

Farcry 4.0.1 was officially released by Geoff Bowers and the Daemon team.

Russ Jhonson has created some very useful fusebox5 templates for Brian Rinaldi's Illudium code generator. There is also a handy screencast of it in action.

Speaking of Brian Rinaldi, in part2 of his series on Objects and compositions in CFCs he covers ColdSpring integration.

Another mention for Luis F. Majano who gives us yet more documentation for ColdBox.

The Fusebox website has been relaunched with a Beta of Fusebox 5.5 due soon.

Finally Team Mach-ii have been assuring us not only is Mach-II not dead it is actually alive and kicking and if to prove the point they released a brand new website and version 1.5 (beta) of the framework.

There is a lot of coldspring and Mach-II news in this round us. Coldspring appears to be getting adapted more and more by developers and with LiteWire giving chance Dependency Injection (DI) is becoming well know.

We have started interviewing some framework Gurus/reviews so watch this space.

Below is a rather busy few weeks in the frameworks world. I've been a little ill so this is why this post is rather late this month and it's also why I've paraphrased a lot from remotesynth, I hope you don't mind Brian.

Tartan Service/Command Framework

Fusebox 5

cfEclipse and fusebox

I just wanted to ask the community out there, if there is a need/want for a plugin that helps you whilst developing fusebox applications?

If you have any ideas pop over to his post and add them in his comments. Mark Drew: Fusebox Plugin for Eclipse/CFEclipse

It's been rather a busy couple of weeks for Frameworks, a few new releases/updates. It's becoming an exciting time. Fusebox 5 and Lexicons will be shown off at cfDevcon next Thursday. If you want to win a ticket for cfDevcon click here for more details.

Remember that there is a cfFrameworks mailing list - it's a little quite at the moment but thats how some like it I guess.

Interviews

Here at cfFrameworks.com we are looking to interview frameworks masters - if you are involved in any frameworks please contact us so we can setup an interview - to everyone else watch this space for the interview to come live.

OnAir

On Remote Synthesis: ColdFusion Open-Source Update - October 16 Brian got informed about a new Framework called onAir.:

New Project: onAir Application Framework
Initial Release
Jan Jannek sent me this link to his new framework which he deems a "smart connection framework" which is intended to simplify connecting back-end business logic with rich front-ends built in Ajax, Flex or Laszlo. From his email, it "provides different Request Handlers (XML, XML-RPC, JSON, etc.) which can be accessed from various clients" and even has a "caching and monitoring mechanism which caches method invocation results and keeps track of method callers." Sounds like this might be worth checking out via his svn repository at https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/onair/.
