Important Note for update: If you are downloading the update from ColdFusion administrator and the server update level below update 11 for ColdFusion 2016 and update 4 for ColdFusion 2018, then it will not allow you to download the update. You will get Signature Verification Failed error. There was a change in our certificate and we updated that certificate in update 4 and update 11 respectively.

After installation of this update on CF2018 (Windows, IIS) we're finding that the CFLOGIN attribute, allowconcurrent, seems to be 'stuck' on: FALSE.  Setting allowconcurrent=true does not seem to work.  All sites are now allowing only 1 concurrent login.  Can anyone confirm?

After applying this update, we found that all of our legacy CFOUTPUT + QUERY + GROUP loops are no longer supported.

<cfoutput query="abc" group="clientId">

We are also finding that some CFOUTPUT + QUERY are not being supported (if inside a function that has output=true).

Is this to be expected?

I didn't encounter this CFOutput/Query/Group bug using 2016,0,12,315717 (Windows Server 2016). What are you encountering? ("no longer supported" doesn't provide enough info.)

I seem to be having a problem with the updated connector.  I installed update 12 for CF 2016 last night and started getting sporadic errors on my sites.  "The requested URL was not found on this server!"  Tomcat/ISAPI/isapi_redirector/1.2.46.   Roughly every 1 out of 5/1 out of 10 hits will produce the error.   I replaced the isapi_redirect.dll with the earlier version from CF 2016 update 11 and all is well again.

I'm confused about the version stamped in these DLL files.  

CF 2016 update 11 isapi_redirect.dll is marked version 1.2.46, 6/6/2019, byte size 486,400 

CF 2016 update 12 isapi_redirect.dll is also marked version 1.2.46, 9/20/2019, with a byte size 515,584

Is there documentation somewhere that indicates the correct connector version and file size for Update 12?

Server Product: ColdFusion 2016
Version: 2016.0.12.315717
Tomcat Version: 8.5.42.0
Edition Enterprise
Operating System: Windows Server 2012
OS Version: 6.2
Update Level: C:/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/lib/updates/chf20160012.jar
Java Version: 11.0.4

Also having the same issue on a Windows 2016/CF 2016 box that was updated to update 12.

A fix for this has been offered in another forum thread: https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/09/coldfusion-2018-release-update-5-coldfusion-2016-release-update...

As for anyplace that tracks the sizes of the connector DLL, I don't know of one. And it is indeed VERY unfortunate that the "version" info reported for the dll file has not changed with those clearly different versions. I hope Adobe will address that.
