When working in SVN, I have a batch script I’ve used in the past to create “DEPLOY” and “RESTORE” folders off of diffs between branches. The script will create a “DEPLOY” folder containing all added and modified files, and a “RESTORE” folder containing all modified files.

The purpose of this, is to deploy a set of files to a different environment. I can just copy the “DEPLOY” folder to any number of servers. If there is a bug that made it through QA, and we need to immediately rollback changes, we can just copy the “RESTORE” folder to all the same servers.

I just wrote a similar script for Git: Git-Diff-Build-Script

This weekend I read an interesting blog post called “JSON: The JavaScript subset that isn’t” and decided to test ColdFusion’s SerializeJSON() function to see if the “bug” existed there. It does. To reproduce, you can create a .cfm page that contains the following HTML/CF code:

1
2
3

<script type="text/javascript">
    var test = #SerializeJSON("test" & chr(8232))#;
</script>

To “fix” the bug, you can replace SerializeJSON() with SafeSerializeJSON() like this:
