Last night, Mark Mandel released Transfer 1.1. While only a .1 release on paper, this is a compelling upgrade for Transfer users. Let’s dig in a little at some of the more fun features, shall we?
Performance Enhancements
Performance gains in any software is always appreciated. In Transfer, Mark notes about a 25% speed improvement. Upgrade for this alone!
TQL Custom Tags
TQL (Transfer Query Language) is designed to work like SQL and operates on your configured Transfer Objects. Thanks to Elliott, you get to use a common CFQuery like wrapper, making the syntax even more intuitive.
Cache Enhancements
There were several enhancements to the cache mechanism. Important stuff like Introspection and statistics for caching layer (Now you can see what is going on inside that caching layer), new time based caching config and enhancements to the object discard routine.
Bug Fixes
A number of bugs have been squashed in this release.
