This is a great example of how a project moves from the community into the core of Railo. Starting with version 3.1.2.009 (Bleeding Edge Release), Railo will include the core ajax tags and javascript library. This means that the following tags will be available by default:

• CFAJAXPROXY
• CFAJAXIMPORT
• CFDIV

Railo Ajax project has been broken into what we call CORE and UI. Core means that it will ship with the Railo codebase. UI means that you will be able to further extend your Railo server by downloading additional extensions (cfwindow, cfmap, cflayout) from http://railoajax.org/provider.cfc or http://railoajax.org/extensionProvider.cfc. Please note, when you use the providers listed, you will see 2 Railo Ajax Projects. One is for Railo builds prior to 3.1.2.009 and the other is for builds 3.1.2.009 and after.

So, the recommend steps for upgrading is:

1. Upgrade to Railo 3.1.2.009
2. Remove any previous railoajax instance.
3. Restart Railo ( http://{your host name}/railo-context/admin/server.cfm?action=services.restart )
4. Re-install Railoajax (UI, if needed) from http://railoajax.org/extensionProvider.cfc USING VERSION >=3.1.2.009

Please give Andrea Campolonghi feedback on the Railo-Beta mailing list!

New in Railo 3.1 is an interface to interact with the CFML debugger, FusionDebug. Now Railo developers have the opportunity to benefit from using an interactive step debugger.

• Increase your productively
• Improve code quality
• Debug your CFML code faster
• Better understand your code
• Accelerate the learning of CFML and existing CFML applications

There is a major difference in how Railo addresses structs in comparison to the CFML standard. The result is that implicit addressing, (as I call it) works in the CFML standard but not in Railo. This is an issue we are long aware of AND we will NOT fix it.
