So i have some production sites that are currently running in MX7. We have had a security scan that tells us MX7 has several vunerabilites and we need to update it to Coldfusion 9. Does anyone know what functions are depreciated from MX7 to CF 9? Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank You
Reed

Off the top of my head I believe that things have been very stable from 7 till 9; the increments in software version have only added capabilities, not removed them.

I would be careful if you're using cfform, however. In CF7 I believe some of the input fields were flash based and in CF8 and beyond Adobe went a more AJAX direction to implement some of the functionality (this after using java applets in CFMX - ugh). The attributes and tags should all be supported but done with a different technology. [Without looking I think that's right.]

Anyone else?

Don't forget the functions, too. CF9 defines a couple of functions with names that have actually conflicted with some of our own defined functions (e.g. isNull, location)
