Ray Camden just
noted that he posted an update to RIAForge to support screenshots of which thumbnails are automatically generated. How did he perform this magic? By running RIAForge on a prerelease version of
Scorpio (and no, that's not usually allowed, but we love Ray, or so we'd like him to think, so he was given special permission to do so). See Ray's
post for some details, and here's an example of a
project that includes screenshots. Incidentally, Ray is reporting some serious performance gains, but more on that in a future post.
I will be in Brussels next month for meetings with the European Commission (the largest ColdFusion customer in Europe). While I am there I'll have the opportunity to chat with ColdFusion developers, and to sneak some
Scorpio. The event is scheduled for February 14th, and
registration is required.
