Editing Adobe ColdFusion (section)

=== Other features ===
All versions of ColdFusion prior to 6.0 were written using Microsoft [[Visual C++]]. This meant that ColdFusion was largely limited to running on [[Microsoft Windows]], although Allaire did successfully port ColdFusion to [[Sun Microsystems|Sun]] [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]] starting with version 3.1.

The [[Allaire Corporation|Allaire]] company was sold to [[Macromedia]], then Macromedia was sold to [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]]. Earlier versions were not as robust as the versions available from version 4.0 forward.{{Fact or opinion|date=June 2019}}

With the release of ColdFusion MX 6.0, the engine had been re-written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and supported its own runtime environment, which was easily replaced through its configuration options with the runtime environment from Sun. Version 6.1 included the ability to code and debug [[Adobe Flash|Macromedia Flash]].
