Savvy Software will be available at two upcoming ColdFusion based conferences this summer.

CF.Objective - Focused on enterprise ColdFusion related topics.  May 1st through May 4th, 2008 in St. Paul, MN.  We are a sponsor and exhibitor, and the CF.Objective site is powered by Savvy Content Manager.

CFUnited - Covers all skill levels for ColdFusion, Flex and AIR.  June 19th - 21st, 2008.  We are a sponsor and exhibitor.

Both of these conferences offer great value to attendees.  Please stop by and visit us if you are attending.

4.5.2 of Savvy Content Manager has been released.  

Included:

• Faster rendering of the nav object.
• Improved UI for highlighting content to be edited.
• Many small bug fixes.

Upgrades should be careful with the new nav object style changes as it may require slight updates to your existing CSS.

It has come to our attention that our search object suffers from a cross site scripting vulnerability in some versions.

We have created a small patch to the affected file which you can download and install into your Savvy CM installation.

The type of vulnerability is a non-persistent cross-site scripting one, and you can read about it here.

Download the fix.

To install place the correct displaysearchobject.cfm file for your version into your /actionfiles/ folder.  You do not need to restart or reinitialize, it will start working immediately.

Lately we've been doing a number of demos for non-profit organizations.  I continue to be amazed at the types of organizations around and the different missions they are serving.  Earlier this week I did a demo for The Center for Wildlife, an organization that cares for injured wildlife in Southern Maine.  They do a great deal of work with raptors (birds of prey) including owls and hawks.  The heavy snow cover in New England this year has driven many small animals towards the roads, which has caused the birds to hunt there and lead to many accidents.

Most non-profits have an educational component in their missions and the web has given them a very cost-effective tool for communicating and educating people about their causes.  We know Savvy is a great tool for them, and I like the fact that I get to learn more about these groups just by doing my job.  There are some great organizations out there;  pick one to support today.

We are pleased to announce that Savvy Content Manager 4.5 is now available.
