ColdFire 1.1.51.59

This extension only update was really focused on driving some of the complexity out of the extension code. To that end I:

  • Did away with the XPCOM object.
  • Got rid of custom network monitoring code. ColdFire now leverages Firebug's network monitor, which is much more robust.
  • Consolidated helper objects and functions into one lib.js file.
  • Renamed source files to more closely match Firebug.

New features in this release include:

  • ColdFire now has a request queue. More on this later, but for now > > check this out.
  • Variables can now be defined per Firefox tab.

There are some big changes under the hood in this release so if you run into any problems be sure to report them. Note that this release is an extension only update so if you are currently running 1.1.51.51 there is no need to update your coldfire.cfm.

Thanks and enjoy!

Nathan Mische's Gravatar @Scott: Are you looking to see internal exceptions thrown by the ColdFire extension, or exceptions thrown by the ColdFusion templates you are debugging?

raZorTT's Gravatar Nathan,

Have you though about adding an else which includes classic.cfm to the coldFire is enabled if block? I've done this so if I'm testing a site in IE the classic debug is available.

Cheers,

Simon

Nathan Mische's Gravatar @Simon - I've gone back and forth on adding this to the coldfire.cfm debugging template. You are not the first to request this feature so I've given it a little though. I would want to make it configurable and to do that with out polluting the variables scope may require end users making documented modifications to the coldfire.cfm, similar to what you have done.

Nathan Mische's Gravatar The latest version, 1.1.51.59, can be downloaded from the main project page: http://coldfire.riaforge.org. This version is only compatible with Firebug version 1.1. ColdFire 1.2 will be released when Firebug 1.2 beta 4 is released.
