Thanks to a community pull requests from John Berquist, the Sentry error reporting library now has reliable method names reported in the stack trace, even on Lucee. This is great for seeing what code errored at a glance. 

Tweet from Brad Wood
AdoptOpenJDK released update 222 for JDK 8 yesterday. I know this because I restarted a test server and voilà, a new JRE downloaded on the fly.  I felt so lazy just sitting there watching my CLI do all that work for me. Wait, no I didn't :) #SorryNotSorry #CFML #ColdFusion
