Congrats on the work team. That’s the largest list of contributors I’ve seen on a Lucee release!

CommandBox users can also test the RC2 like so:

CommandBox> server start cfengine=lucee@5.3.8-RC

I know as developers we have a culture of only complaining about bugs, but it would be great to know if you have tried the RC and didn’t have any problems too!

If you’ve tried the RC please share your experience!

Or just like the first post, user feedback is really important for us, it all helps make Lucee better

I’ve been using the both RCs in my local CommandBox CLI as well as all my default servers I start with CommandBox and I have yet to see any issues.

We’ve been running 5.3.8.138 in production for over 3 months and it’s been absolutely solid.

I ran the 5.3.8.167-RC through our tests and unfortunately there was a regression with static variables, which from 5.3.8.150 are no longer accessible to child components. This is a blocker for us as our base components rely on this.

Appreciate all the work you’re doing, Zac.

@Zac: Running Lucee .167-RC for a while now on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (but that server is mainly for dev and without load at the moment). I’m running the RC jar also locally and on a brand new Windows Server 2019 box that we are going to move into production next week. Seems to be pretty good, but also here isn’t much load at the moment, just some simulations. Can tell you more next week.

Other than the bug I’ve opened and thread I posted (all ideas and solutions welcome) it’s working great on our 4 tertiary instances … just still has that one major issue on our main public facing web site.

We have a production server using 5.3.8.167 and it’s working beautifully. We’re forever grateful for the amazing contributions made to this project.
