Get your fill/feeds of Adobe ColdFusion Technotes, Hotfixes, Security Bulletins, and articles
Note: This blog post is from 2008. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.Ever wish you could be notified when there's a new CF technote, hotfix, security bulletin, or DevCenter CF article? You can be, whether via your favorite RSS reader or by email (more below). There are feeds for each of the following:
- CF Technotes and Hotfixes:A feed of recent ColdFusion tech notes and hot fixes is offered here:
http://rss.adobe.com/www/support/recent/recent_cf.xml
There is also a top issues feed. (FWIW, the recent_cf.xml page seems identical to the info offered via this URL.)
- DevCenter CF articles: A feed of recent ColdFusion Dev Center articles is offered here:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/developer_center_coldfusion_tutorials
- CF Security Bulletins: While you can't get a feed of recent ColdFusion security bulletins, you can at least sign up to receive notification of new bulletins by email. Just note that the email will be for all Adobe products which have bulletins, not just for CF.
Don't have an RSS feed reader? Get them by email
If you don't have an RSS feed reader, or you simply prefer to receive such things by email, you can. Check out the various RSS-to-Email tools (all free) which I list in my category, "RSS to Email Tools", in my list of over 100 tools and resources for CFers.
Adobe Feeds for Other Products
If you're interested, you can find many other feeds across all Adobe products at http://www.adobe.com/support/rss/.
Beware of older CF feeds
One last FYI: you may find reference on the web to the following old technote URLs, which do still work but have not been updated since CF 7, such as http://weblogs.macromedia.com/product_feeds/archives/coldfusion/index.rdf and this "ColdFusion news" feed.

Well, it's not CF specific, but on the portal I filter.

As for the events page, well, I'd like it a lot more if it was CF-specific. I'm willing to suffer through some non-CF stuff in the Security Bulletins page (as important as that is), but I'd become quickly annoyed with that events page since most is not CF-related. That said, someone could write a yahoo pipe to filter it--there's something to add to the portal! :-)
