New Releases and Updates

Lucee 5.4.0.65 Release Candidate
Remember - Lucee’s Minors are MAJOR releases

The Lucee team is proud to present our next release candidate for the 5.x series.

The 5.4 series bumps the minor version (from 5.3), as we had to update some of the underlying java libraries and extensions as the older versions have CVEs or are no longer maintained.

All of the java libraries which have been updated in 6 have also been updated in 5.4, with the exception of hsqldb which in this RC is still 2.7.0

This includes an important performance fix 7 with logging since 5.3.10.120 (fixed in 5.3.10.125)

CommandBox Next - Add Rewrite Map feature similar to Apache

• Add a new rewrite-map() handler which declares a named map, file it uses (absolute path), and case sensitivity flag
• Add a new rewrite-map-exists() predicate just for the fun of it which will tell you if a given key exists in the map (apache doesn't have this)
• Add a new %{map:name-n
