Hacktoberfest is here!
CELEBRATE OUR 10TH YEAR SUPPORTING OPEN SOURCE!
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Hacktoberfest, and we’re calling on your support! Whether it’s your first time participating—or your tenth—it’s almost time to hack out four pristine pull/merge requests as we continue our month of support for open source.

Hacktoberfest has grown from 676 participants in 2014 to nearly 147,000 participants last year. To help ensure Hacktoberfest can be sustained for another decade, this year we’re moving away from a free t-shirt reward to a digital reward.

All Ortus Repos will qualify, including our docs repos!

Lucee 5.4.3.11-RC is out

This is a bug fix release addressing the all the regressions found in 5.4.3 (all the 5.4.4.x fixes are backported into this RC as well)

Plan is for a quick RC, as people have been testing all the fixes along the way.

Assuming there are no regressions found, we will be merging the private CVE branch back into the public branch a week after the stable release, so if you haven’t already upgraded to a CVE version, it’s time to update.

LDEV-4480 - "." should not be accepted/converted as/to a number
LDEV-4675 - admin Error: requested action doesn't exist
LDEV-4676 - SerializeJSON() produces invalid JSON when serializing some CFC instances
LDEV-4690 - admin: login prompt for every request
LDEV-4691 - 5.4.3.2 QofQ rounds decimal column type to integer when joining
LDEV-4693 - Integer BigDecimal values are converted to strings with trailing 0s
LDEV-4695 - 5.4.3.2 QoQ incompatible data type with subquery IN operator
