Lucee 6.1.1 (6.1.1.100-RC) Release Candidate

[micstriit]

There is a new Lucee 6.1.1.100-RC release candidate available for testing. Give it a try and share your feedback with us.

What’s New?

This release focuses mainly on bug fixes, along with a few useful enhancements.

Key Enhancements

• Configuration improvements: You can now update your Lucee configuration by simply dropping a .CFConfig.json file with the changes into the /deploy folder (LDEV-4994). No need to have everything in that file, just your changes.

• BigDecimal support for better precision: All functions now support BigDecimal, giving you more accurate calculations and allowing you to write more precise code.

Full Changelog

Below is the detailed changelog for the Lucee 6.1.1.100 release candidate, including bug fixes, enhancements, and tasks that were completed:

I’ve run a few of our projects with unit and selenium tests under a docker 6.1.1.100-RC container and did not run into any show stoppers. So far so good.

Found one issue, but it was introduced a while ago : Allow dots in datasource names again by tomchiverton · Pull Request #2424 · lucee/Lucee · GitHub

All functions now support BigDecimal

Does this now include cfloop with non-integer “step” attributes? Because I posted awhile back how those were still clearly using double, when they ought to now be using BigDecimal. See my prior post here for details:

6.1.0.243 - cfloop "step" incrementing isn't done with BigDecimal

Fun bug I found. On this page (click to view it): Bug : Number, multiplication and .99999999999 …user TonyMonast gives a code sample involving CFLOOP. Having just downloaded Lucee 6, I was eager to run code snippets like these that are problematical back when Lucee used “double” for calculations but should work correctly now that Lucee 6 uses “BigDecimal” instead. So I ran this code, stripping out the round() functions, to see if the results were now correct thanks to BigDecimal being use…

Also, NumberFormat() has a serious bug pertaining to BigDecimal (but it also happens on doubles too), which I reported here:

Bug in NumberFormat() in 12th decimal place when using BigDecimals (and doubles!)

Hey, it happens in the 12th position with “Precise Math” turned off, too. I just turned it off, then made a version of the test code that only uses 12 places after the decimal, and the problem still happens: <cfset my_number = 0.111111111111> <cfset my_formatted_number = NumberFormat(my_number,"0.000000000000")> <cfdump eval="my_number"> <cfdump eval="my_formatted_number"><hr> <cfset my_number = 0.999999999999> <cfset my_formatted_number = NumberFormat(my_number,"0.000000000000")> <cfdump ev…

Why still version 6.1.1.1? I’m running 6.2.0.149-SNAPSHOT and it runs stable. (apart from the PDF generating issues)
Why is the RC so behind the snapshots?
