Adobe is currently working on ColdFusion 9 (Codename: Centaur). There is no release date set, but the list of potential new features include :

• Ability to code User Defined Functions (UDFs) and ColdFusion Components (CFC’s) entirely in CFScript.
• An explicit “local” scope that does not require local variables to be declared at the top of the function.
• Implicit getters/setters for CFC.
• Implicit constructors via method called “init” or method with same name as CFC.
• New CFFinally tag for Exception handling syntax and CFContinue tag for Control flow.
• Object-relational mapping (ORM) Database integration through Hibernate (Java).
• Server.cfc file with onServerStart and onServerEnd methods.
• Tighter integration with Adobe AIR.
