ADF Release Notes v2.6.2
Overview
The Application Development Framework (ADF) version 2.6.2 release contains enhancements and bug fixes to core ADF 2.6,1 functionality.
Version Compatibility
This 2.6.2 version of the ADF is ONLY compatible with CommonSpot 10.5.2 or 10.6.1 or higher.
If your site is running CommonSpot 10 up to 10.5.1 or 10.6 please use ADF 2.4.x, however we strongly recommend upgrading to CommonSpot 10.6.4, 10.7.2 or 10.8.1 and ADF 2.6.2!
ADF 1.8.x and older versions of the ADF are NOT compatible with CommonSpot 10.x. Please note if your site is running CommonSpot 9 or older you will need to use the ADF 1.8.1 release or 1.8.2 development builds.
ADF AjaxProxy CSRF Safe Mode
CommonSpot 10.5.2 and 10.6.1 introduced robust security enhancements to mitigate CSRF vulnerabilities but adding CSRF Token validation to it's form submits as well its internal /loader.cfm requests.
To complement these security enhancements, ADF 2.5 and above and the ADF companion Apps have also be updated to add CSRF validation to its custom forms, internal CommonSpot /loader.cfm requests as well as its own /ajaxProxy.cfm requests.
However, due to the flexibility and customizability of the ADF and the ADF Applications, specifically the powerful ajaxProxy feature, the CSRF attack prevention validation has been disabled by default. It can be enabled when all custom ajaxProxy requests have been updated to take advantage of this security feature.
For more information see the ADF AjaxProxy CSRF Safe Mode documentation regarding enabling the security enhancement.
Field Type CFCs
CommonSpot 10 and above, requires that all Custom Field Type Render modules be converted to be a CFC versus a CFM module. See the ADF 2.0 release notes for more information regarding CFC render modules built for the ADF 2.x releases.
Resource Loading
CommonSpot 10 introduces a new Resource Loading Framework to help efficiently load JavaScript and CSS resources. See the
ADF 2.0 release notes for more information regarding using CommonSpot Resource Loading with ADF 2.x releases.
For detailed information about the Resource Loading Framework, see the CommonSpot Developer's Guide.
