New Documentation: Build Apps Faster with Environment Property and sick of writting setters for CS?

There's been a lot of activity on documentation on the Mach-II wiki on Trac and it's some great stuff!  We've been working on solving common things people do in Mach-II applications and make them easier or more automated.

EnvironmentProperty.cfc in Mach-II 1.8

Ever need to set Mach-II properties that differ based on whether your application is deployment in a development, staging, quality assurance or production environment?  Then the new EnvironmentProperty.cfc that will ship with Mach-II 1.8 will fill those shoes for you.  Even better yet is that this is already available in the nightly release of Mach-II 1.8 (available from the code page).  So check out how to use the new EnvironmentProperty.cfc now.

Depends Attribute for ColdSpring Autowiring and Forget the Setters in Mach-II 1.6

Sick of writting getters/setters in your listeners, filters or plugins so ColdSpring can autowire them? Well, you don't need to do that any more! The 'depends' attribute and the new ColdSpringProperty.cfc bundled with Mach-II 1.6 (currently in RC2) takes care of that for you.  Go from having a bunch of getters/setters in your Mach-II extended component to getting rid of them just have listing the objects you want ColdSpring to autowire in by defining them in the custom 'depends' attribute of the cfcomponent.  Read all about how to make your listener, filter and plugin code lighter and save some typing by using the new ColdSpringProperty.cfc. Special thanks to Jorge Loyo for commiting the inital version of this wiki entry.  Jorge is definitely a MachStar!
