I am on 2021 update 10 i see they now have 16. My question is that i have been reading some of these posts and it seems a few of these updates are doozies, meaning really things i need to watch out for and test my code with beforehand? Is there any easy document that will tell you or where to look for each one that would clearly explain? i know one of them deals with some patch you can put a few versions early and check log file to make sure your coding is okay? anything else major? Adobe has got me scared to update anything now and when i do should i do one patch at a time? Been with CF since 4.0 and i am not sure if its age or whatever but these updates seem to be getting scarier and sloppier or over the years.

Hi Rickmaz, I am honoured to assist a ColdFusion veteran. As Saurav Ghosh reminds you and us, most of ColdFusion's updates fix critical vulnerabilities. Therefore you are strongly advised to install them.

 

Your worries are understandable. However, there is good news. To make life easier for the developer, Adobe has greatly simplified the ColdFusion update process, as follows.  The updates are cumulative

 

It means that the most recent ColdFusion update includes the fixes of all the updates prior to it. Therefore, Update 16 (the current update) is the only doozy you have to worry about. Just one vaccination, and you're done. Once you install Update 16, you will have installed all the fixes of updates 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 in one fell swoop.

 

You also said you want to read up on each release. Here then are the release notes for ColdFusion 2021 Updates 11 to 16, inclusive:

 

Update 11:  https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-11.html 
Update 12: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-12.html 
Update 13: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-13.html 
Update 14: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-14.html 
Update 15: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-15.html 
Update 16: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2021-update-16.html 

 

Once again, to be clear, you will only have to install Update 16.
