Upgrading from CF 7 to CF 8

We're upgrading from CF 7 to CF 8 and I'm looking for an Adobe document saying what programmers need to look for to make the code still work (i.e. new reserved words or changes in functions). All I'm finding is documents talking about the new stuff. That's all good for upgrading the site, but I want to make sure what I have now works.

For example, a few years ago after an upgrade from one CF version to a new one, we discovered a page broked because all of a sudden "version" was a reserved word, so we had to rename the variable.... stuff like that. While we plan to test our full site in CF 8 on our development server before installing it on the production server, a guideline on what to look for in the code would be great.

Hi,

Use the "Code Analyzer" link available under the "Debugging and Logging Section", it evaluates the incompatiabilities between CF8 and the previous versions..
