Does ColdFusion 2018 have Responsive Charts Now

A while ago there was a thread where Adobe / Zing Charts  stated that the coldfusion license which includes zing charts allowed you to use the version of zing charts directly with the CF license file (the reference is a bit old so don't know what the current status is: https://www.stphnwlkr.co/zingchart-licensing-update-exciting/).

We decided a long time ago that relying on the CF UI components was a bad idea as they are not updated regularly (if at all) with the underlying JS libraries they depend on so it's a far better option to leverage the license you have and go direct to the library rather than depending on the CF wrapper to it. Same has been said many times for CFGrid, CFPod etc.

Anyway would be useful if Adobe could re-iterate allowable license usage for this very handy library.

In case no one may answer your specific question, just know that the point of the public beta is so that you can try it yourself.

If you may be thinking, “I don’t want to break my current setup”, first note that you can always install CF as either the trial or developer edition (same installer as the production one) on any machine, separate from one where you may currently have your CF2016 setup.

Second, note that you can even install a new CF version on the same machine that is currently running your CF2016 (or any CF version). CF installs are not “upgrades”. They are new installs, so this would be a new CF 2018 install, in its own folder, with its own service, and running entirely separately from your current one.

The only thing to note is that at the end of the installer, where it offers to integrate with any external web server (such as IIS or Apache), you would not want to do that, if you want to avoid impacting the current sites talking to CF2016. Instead, you would end up with what’s called the built-in web server, and it would listen on port 8500 (or 8501, and so on, as the installer would tell you was next available), and you could setup some test code in the coldfusion2018\cfusion\wwwroot, to run such code via that built-in web server.
