[Update 13 Dec]:
Added cfencode.sh to the table of removals.
Updated Customizing an HTTP response to HTTP reason phrases.
Added contact email id cf-deprecation@adobe.com
In the upcoming ColdFusion (2025 release), we will deprecate and remove certain features to enhance the overall experience, improve security, stay aligned with the latest technological advancements, and eliminate obsolete libraries.
We announced the deprecations and removals on the ColdFusion pre-release forum a few days ago. If you haven't already signed up, please do so today
As part of this exercise, we have analyzed data from various sources and identified features slated for deprecation and removal. Additionally, we are updating the deprecation lifecycle and terminology by removing the "Retired" status.
Definitions
Deprecated: Adobe does not recommend using a deprecated feature in new application development. While no enhancements or modifications will be made to these features, Adobe will continue to provide critical bug fixes, including security patches, to maintain functionality as outlined in the documentation.
Deprecated and Unsupported: Features in this category will not receive enhancements or modifications. However, if a security vulnerability or critical issue arises, Adobe will address it.
Removed: Features categorized as removed will no longer be available in ColdFusion and cannot be used.
Impact of the updated deprecation lifecycle
Deprecation in ColdFusion 2025: A feature marked for deprecation in CF 2025 will move to Deprecated and Unsupported in CF 2025+1.
Eventual Removal in CF 2025+2: The feature will be entirely removed from the platform in CF 2025+2.
These changes are part of our commitment to delivering a secure, modern, and efficient ColdFusion platform. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we transition to these updates.
Disclaimer: Adobe values customer feedback and considers it when reviewing policies. Changes may be made based on this input. This serves as a general disclaimer, as updates depend on the feedback received, ensuring we can effectively support our customers.
What will be deprecated in ColdFusion (2025 release)

Remarks

Java SecurityManager: SecurityManager was marked as deprecated for removal in Java Development Kit (JDK) 17 through JEP 411, meaning it is planned to be fully removed in future Java versions.
Java SecurityManager was used in ColdFusion Sandbox Security.
Legacy Cookie Processor support from the cfcookie tag: Tomcat 10.1 had removed support for Legacy Cookie Processor.

We are pleased to announce that we have released general updates to ColdFusion (2023 release) Update 11 and ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 17.
The updates include bug fixes and enhancements in Administrator, Language, CFSetup, Database, and other areas. They also contain library upgrades, such as netty, ehcache, etc.
After applying the update, we recommend clearing the Felix cache as a workaround for installing the HTMLToPDF package and verifying the Oracle data source.
The updates also contain enhancements to whitespace management and client variable support in CFPM.
Where do I download the updates from
Download the updates from the following locations:
ColdFusion (2023 release) Updates
ColdFusion (2021 release) Updates
For more information, view the following tech notes:
ColdFusion (2023 release) Update 11
ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 17
Known issues in the update
The PDF Services page in ColdFusion Administrator does not load even with the HTMLToPDF package installed. As a workaround, follow the steps:
Uninstall the HTMLToPDF package.
Stop ColdFusion.
Clear the Felix cache (<cf_home>/cfusion/bin/felix-cache).
Restart ColdFusion.
Install the HTMLToPDF package.
After installing the latest update, the Oracle DataSource verification fails. To work around this, clear the Felix cache and restart ColdFusion.
An exception occurs when indexing Open Document Format files, such as those with a .odt extension.
Are the Docker images available
The images are available on the Docker hub and ECR.
Is CFFiddle updated with the changes

With question pools in Captivate 12.4, you can create a set of questions from which your quizzes will randomly pull. You can organize pools by difficulty, topic, or goal and then use them to add variety to your quizzes. Random questions ensure learners are tested on different topics or skills, and since everyone gets a unique set of questions, it helps prevent answer sharing.
Here's how you add random questions and create question pools:
Add a random question slide, then create a question pool.
Once you've created the question pool, start adding the questions to the pool.
In addition to adding question slides to a pool, you can import questions from a CSV or add slides from the Asset panel.
Once your pool is ready with questions, move some questions between other pools or to the main project.
You're all set. Publish the project.
View Add question pools and random question slides for more information.
Captivate 12.4 contains several features and enhancements to allow you to create quality eLearning projects. View the What's new and changed in Captivate 12.4 for more information.
