Problem Description:
The change from comma-separated to dot-separated version number breaks all version checking code out there in the wild, and will cause havoc for users of the product since many 3rd party libraries they rely on will break.
Steps to Reproduce:
Try to run any code that sniffs the product version using list manipulation of server.coldfusion.productversion
Actual Result:
Product version will contain dots instead of just a numeric value. Version checking will fail.
Expected Result:
Product version should contain commas -- like all past releases of ColdFusion (and like Railo, Lucee, and BlueDragon).
Any Workarounds:
None.
Suggested Fix:
Retain existing server.coldfusion.productversion with comma-separated numbers. Add a new server.coldfusion.version (or semanticversion) with a dot-separated version number. Maintain both going forward.
