Lucee 5.1.0.34

This is the most current version of the Lucee platform and contains many improvements including Adobe ColdFusion 2016 compatibility.

New Configuration

These new configurations are possible with Lucee 5.1 via your Application.cfc file.

// Declare a named cache connection
this.cache.connections={}

// Declare a mail server
this.mails=[]

// search scope implicitly.
// Alias for this.scopeCascade
searchImplicitScopes=boolean;

Environment Variables

You can set this new environment variable on your server before starting Lucee to preserve case of dot notation variables keys. This sort of config option is very handy for automated deploys like Docker :whale:

lucee.preserve.case=boolean
