ColdFusion 2016 Update schedule?

Does anybody know where I would be able to find the update schedule for ColdFusion 2016.

 

I am on update 16, and that was installed in July 2020, so 6 months.

 

Thanks

 

Mark

  • CF2016 is no longer supported as of Feb 2021 (5 years after its release), and when a version is no longer supported, no further updates are created.
    • (That said, there may be one that was "in the works" which may be released, as happened with CF11 when it stopped being updated in 2019, and yet a month after that, an update came out for it along with CF2016 and 2018. It could happen with the next update for CF2018 and 2021, but there's no gurarantee.)
  • As for a "schedule" of updates, there is no formal one. Adobe has never committed to one, nor is there a clear pattern, but it's averaged a few per year for all releases
    • For CF2016, there were 2, 3, or 4 each year, with several in 2019, as can seen from the updates page that BKBK offered.

You have the latest version of ColdFusion 2016. As far I as know, there haven't been any updates since Update 16.

I am still on update 16 (CF2016) which was released on 14th July 2020, 8 months ago.

 

I'm wondering if anybody has any idea when the next update might be released?
