If you’re upgrading from 1.3.0+, you just need to replace the wheels folder with the new one from the download. If you’re upgrading from an older version of CFWheels, see the instructions.

We have fixed a few bugs discovered by the community after releasing CFWheels 1.3.0 a few weeks ago and packaged them as version 1.3.1.

Behold the major fixes released in version 1.3.1:

• Fixed issue with calling addFormat() on application start-up.
• Fixed so that Railo outputs IDs for nested properties as integers instead of exponents.
• Make sure that IDs for nested properties are unique.

See the v1.3.1 CHANGELOG for a full record of all changes.

To upgrade from 1.3.0, replace the wheels folder in your application with the new one from the zip file. See the instructions if you’re upgrading from an earlier release.

Keep rocking, CFWheels community! \m/

After a couple years of work on version 1.2 of CFWheels, we decided to reboot our efforts and simplify.

To mark this new milestone, we are releasing CFWheels version 1.3.0 today. Version 1.3.0 includes many back-ported commits from the 1.2 branch but aims to be a non-breaking upgrade.

If you’re upgrading, review the instructions for upgrading and enjoy some new improvements:

• Form and view helpers are now more HTML5-friendly. (See the HTML5 data Attributes section of Form Helpers and Showing Errors.)
• You can now create model components that don’t need a database table behind them. (See the Models Without Database Tables section of Object Relational Mapping.)
• Application reloading and startup is now thread-safe.
• 49 new features and bugs were fixed. See the CHANGELOG.

Give 1.3 a spin and submit an issue if you find any bugs. Some plugins may need to be updated, so be sure to work with plugin authors to get 1.3 compatibility going.

There are more exciting changes coming for and from our community. Thank you for your support!

We’ve released ColdFusion on Wheels version 1.1.5. This release addresses some regression issues with 1.1.4 that some of you reported involving plugins deployed in a subfolder install of Wheels. Thanks to your help, Tony Petruzzi was able to fix this issue quickly.

Wheels 1.1.5 also fixes an issue where values generated by the select() form helper were not being HTML-escaped. This fixes a potential security hole, so we recommend updating as soon as possible.

To upgrade, simply download the zip file and replace the wheels folder in your application with the new wheels folder from the download.

Thanks to those of you who helped report, pinpoint, and troubleshoot these issues. Your help has made the Wheels framework a better tool for everyone.
