What platforms does Mach II run on?

The current version of Mach-II is officially supported on the following CFML engines:

• Adobe ColdFusion versions 7 and higher
• New Atlanta BlueDragon 7.1 and higher
• Open BlueDragon 1.1 and higher
• Railo 3.1.1 and higher

Our general policy is to support the same versions of CFML engines that are officially supported by the vendors, and to drop support for older engines as the vendors do. This allows us to retain what we feel is an acceptable level of backward compatibility without sacrificing the ability to take advantage of features that only exist in newer versions of the engines.

Some additional notes on CFML engine support:

• We tend to support the current version of Adobe ColdFusion as well as one previous version, just as Adobe does. With Mach-II 1.8 there were no changes that made it incompatible with ColdFusion 7, so for the time being we are leaving ColdFusion 7 on the supported list.
• BlueDragon 7.0 has a bug that impacts the functionality of the new form tag library in Mach-II 1.8, so we cannot fully support BlueDragon 7.0 as of Mach-II 1.8. This bug has been fixed in BlueDragon 7.1, and the bug does not exist in Open BlueDragon.
• Mach-II will not run on New Atlanta BlueDragon .NET because Mach-II relies on Java objects that are not available on the .NET platform.
• We test Mach-II most heavily on Adobe ColdFusion and Open BlueDragon since these are the engines that Team Mach-II use most heavily.
• We do not test heavily on Railo simply because at this point it's not an engine Team Mach-II uses on a daily basis. If you're interested in helping test more thoroughly on Railo please contact us.
