Railo Team has a mantra that if functionality moves to the "core" language of CFML, then what was once a paid plugin / extension would then become free. With that, this is the announcement that the Railo Amazon S3 plugin is currently available as a free extension now and it will be part of the core in one of the next patch bleeding edge releases.

Update: Gert just linked on twitter an old tutorial on how to use the Amazon S3 plugin in Railo.

Lately the blog site is getting more and more spam comments. This is why I will update to the latest BlogCFC by Raymond Camden and enable the moderation of comments. So please do not get upset if a comment you posted isn't visible instantly. This is the price we have to pay if our blog should remain spam free. Every day we had to delete around 30 spam comments. The subscribers to the related blog entry I suppose received these spam mails as well. This is why we want to moderate comments in the future. Thanks for your understanding.
