CFBuilder Update 1: Oh Thank Heaven!

ColdFusion Builder update 1 has been released, and it provides fixes for most of the issues that have been bugging me; specifically:

• (bug) Jumping around when editing long lines with horizontal scroll
• (bug) Odd behavior with code folding
• (bug) Memory issues
• (bug) Sometimes copy & pasting resulted in a StackOverflow error
• (bug) A refactoring issue
• (bug) A bug when using SourceGear source control
• (bug) And a personal favorite: The split pane buggyness that I noticed was fixed.

You can get instructions on the proper way to handle the update here, but here are a few notes:

• Updates are managed via Adobe Updater, which checks weekly by default (can be configured to monthly in options)
• You can force it to check for updates several ways, including choosing the Help > Adobe ColdFusion Builder Updates... menu option from within CFB.
• Only the most recent install will be updated. For example, if you installed as a plugin within Eclipse and later as stand-alone, only the stand-alone install will be updated.
• If you are updating a stand-alone install, you only need to restart CFB after the update process. If updating a plugin install, you need to restart eclipse with the -clean option.
• If you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7, make sure you run CFB/Eclipse as an administrator before starting the update process. If you don't, you won't be prevented from running the updater, but the update may not function properly.

Lastly, you'll know that the update installed correctly by the version number shown in Help > Product Details. 1.0 was version 1.0.0.271911, and Update 1 is version 1.0.0.274293.

• Eric Cobb 20 May 2010 11:07 AM I noticed that you mentioned the SourceGear bug as one of the issues that had been bugging you. Do you guys currently use SourceGear? If so, what are your thoughts on it? We recently swapped over to it and so far have not had a very pleasant experience.
  
  BTW, I originally tried to submit the above paragraph in your contact form, but it told me it was Spam. :(
• Adam 20 May 2010 11:10 AM Hi Eric,
  
  We do not use SourceGear. The list started out as things that were bugging me, but when I saw how short the list of all addressed issues was I just decided to link to them all. Sorry that wasn't more clear, and that I can't be of more help. I hope your experience with SG improves or that your team finds something more suitable! :(
  
  The contact form spam thing is a known issue, I just haven't had time to get to it yet. Thanks for reporting it, though.
