History
ColdFusion MX 7:
• Removed reference to external collections.
• Deprecated the map and repair options of the action attribute. They might not work, and
might cause an error, in later releases.
• Added categories attribute and categorylist action.
• Added CATEGORIES, SIZE, DOCCOUNT, and LASTMODIFIED to list of variables
returned by the
list action.
• Marked as obsolete the MAPPED, ONLINE, and REGISTERED variables returned by the
list action.
ColdFusion MX:
• Changed the requirements for the action attribute: it is now required.
• Added the action attribute list value. It is the default.
• Changed the requirements for the action attribute value map: it is not necessary to specify the
action attribute value map. (ColdFusion detects collections and creates maps collections as
required.)
• Changed acceptable collection naming: this tag accepts collection names that include spaces.
• Changed Verity operations behavior: ColdFusion supports Verity operations on Acrobat PDF
files.
• Changed thrown exceptions: this tag can throw the SEARCHENGINE exception.
