Upgrade blew up code

[indnajns]

My host's server crashed a couple months ago. Without warning, they decided to
upgrade to 7.0 while salvaging from this crash. The WORKING code I had was
written a couple years ago for CF 5.0. Unbeknownst to me, the host had already
upgraded to CF6.1 at some point. I didn't know nor care about that upgrade
because it didn't break my code. But this round, going to 7.0 DID kill my
code. SImple things like commas in dollar amount fields now throw errors. And
code that uses CFFile throws errors. As well, a couple of queries now give
syntax errors. Anybody know of a good document that explains the new syntax of
7.0? And please define the "MX" phenomenon. Like I said, it was working code,
worked for years, until it met CF7.0.

The best thing to do is run the code analyzer.
It will tell you all the errors with a good explanation of the fix and the
history.

The code analyzer is in the administrator in the "Debugging & Logging" section.

Once you have run through and cleared all the errors, use the "advanced
options" to turn on the warnings and run through it again.

The CF docs also list the history of changes to each tag and function.

also gives a good overview of the changes from version to version.
