Mach-II Google Group Now 500 Strong!
Yesterday the Mach-II Google Group reached a big milestone: our 500th member joined! We're very excited that the interest in Mach-II continues to grow, and want to thank all the members of our growing community. Thanks also to everyone who attended my "Head First Mach-II" session at CFUnited yesterday. It was fantastic to have a packed room and so many great questions, and several people told me afterwards that they're starting to have "light bulb moments" with Mach-II, which is always good to hear.
With the great new features in Mach-II 1.6 like logging and caching, and the very cool stuff we have planned for Mach-II 2.0, now's a great time to be getting into Mach-II!

What's New in Mach-II 1.6 and 2.0?
Peter gave an extremely well-received presentation at cf.Objective() covering what's new in Mach-II 1.6 and even a bit about what we have in mind for version 2.0, and if you've been curious, be sure to download his presentation! We'll have an official beta for 1.6 available in mid-June, and development on 2.0 is already underway.
Some of the highlights for 1.6 include:
- Improved Application.cfc bootstrapper
- Publish/subscribe listener method invocation
- Caching package
- Logging package
- ColdSpringProperty.cfc (replaces the ColdSpring plugin)
- Miscellaneous fixes and improvements
The caching and logging packages in particular are extremely flexible, powerful new features in 1.6. Mach-II 1.6 ships with two caching strategies and three loggers, but we've made it very easy to extend and implement your own. For example, if you want to use MemCache, Mach-II 1.6 does not ship with that functionality, but it's very simple to add this--or any other caching strategy--yourself.
There's much more information and details in Peter's presentation, so grab it now and learn all about the fantastic new features in 1.6, as well as what we have planned for Mach-II 2.0!
