Is Taffy dead? (Answer: Taffy’s not dead, just really stable)

Are we the only people still using Taffy ? What have people moved to instead if so ?

The last release was over two years ago, and I raised the Lucee 6 compatibility issue ( Lucee 6 - queryToStruct is now a reserved word as it's a built in function, with different arguments · Issue #437 · atuttle/Taffy · GitHub ) in Feb and have heard nothing.
The Slack linked from the repo. is dead, and the mailing list hasn’t been posted too in years either.

There was also some discussion around a patch to remove it’s added X-… headers and associated flushes ( Configuration toggle to suppress Taffy headers · Issue #402 · atuttle/Taffy · GitHub ) that seems to have fizzled out.

I don’t know if @Adam_Tuttle is still active here or anywhere else ?

Yeah I’m on here. :nerd_face:

Taffy’s not dead, just really stable. My company still uses it in the critical path of our apps that process millions of dollars of cc payments every year :man_shrugging:

I’m happy to consider pull requests, and want to be more responsive on issues, but have limited time and attention. I should turn on email notifications for the Taffy repo, because I never seem to notice issues/etc quickly.

I’ll take a look at your issue later this morning and see if we can figure out the best path forward.

Great news; thanks.

I hadn’t realized that you’d not been getting notifications from GitHub :slight_smile:

The we’ve been running the “suppress headers” branch in prod for months with no issues apart from more robust deployments and less leaky headers to explain to auditors.
