ColdFusion 8

[UPDATE Aug 16, 07: This list is based on the beta documentation, for a complete list I suggest checking out the final documentation on livedocs. (Also, somehow I left out cfdbinfo)]

I haven't seen anyone post this and I was amazed when I starting reading the documentation of just how many new tags there are. So, here is a list of all the new tags in ColdFusion 8 and a general category (assigned by me, not Adobe).

Tag	Category
cfajaximport	AJAX/UI
cfajaxproxy	AJAX/UI
cfdiv	AJAX/UI
cfexchangeCalendar	Exchange Integration
cfexchangeConnection	Exchange Integration
cfexchangeContact	Exchange Integration
cfexchangeFilter	Exchange Integration
cfexchangeMail	Exchange Integration
cfexchangeTask	Exchange Integration
cffeed	RSS
cfimage	Image Manipulation
cfinterface	OO Programming
cflayout	AJAX/UI
cflayoutarea	AJAX/UI
cfmenu	AJAX/UI
cfmenuitem	AJAX/UI
cfpdf	PDF Manipulation
cfpdfForm	PDF Manipulation
cfpdfFormParam	PDF Manipulation
cfpdfParam	PDF Manipulation
cfpdfSubForm	PDF Manipulation
cfpod	AJAX/UI
cfpresentation	Presentation / Breeze Integration
cfpresentationSlide	Presentation / Breeze Integration
cfpresenter	Presentation / Breeze Integration
cfprint	Printing
cfspryDataSet	Spry Integration
cfthread	Programming
cftooltip	AJAX/UI
cfwindow	AJAX/UI
cfzip	File Manipulation
cfzipParam	File Manipulation

Thats 32 new tags! And doesn't include old tags with new attributes or new functions. By now, I think I've played with most of the tags so if you have questions let me know or check out the very good documentation on Adobe Labs (click on the Product Details tab).
