We have already successfully upgraded several customer's dedicated web servers and do not anticipate compatibility issues between CF7 and CF8. Additionally, all CF data source names, CFX custom tags, and settings will import into CF8.
ColdFusion 8 brings with it a number of performance enhancements, security updates and several new tags including CFPRESENTATION, CFPDF, and CFIMAGE among others. These new tags are effectively bridging the gap between the old Macromedia products and newer Adobe products. ColdFusion 8 also introduces new AJAX features for CFFORM and .NET Integration to bring in .NET objects into your CF application.
We are aware that we are bringing CF8 to the scene late. You can rest assured that we will not let this happen again. ColdFusion 9 is coming around the corner quickly and we plan to release it quickly.
