my fault, i was under the impression that function also exists on ACF, but it does not.
So it is up to us what is right, so i decided that CR+LF is the right value for windows, so the value we already had in the server scope.
But in addition i have extended the function "newLine" with a new optional argument "includeCROnWindows"
what is true by default, but also can set to false to get the old behaviour.

you missunderstand me, is "newLine" returning the wrong value or "server.separator.line" ?
i understand that they not return the same on windows, but what is the right return value?

Hi ,

Both were return's to the new line. But In windows if we check both are equal it return's false. I checked in trycf it return's true.

The change of behavior of newLine() between Lucee versions caused a severe issue in our system where lines aren't separated anymore in the text files that are meant to be imported into database.

I ideally thought newLine() is a shortcut to SERVER.separator.line so that I can save a few keystrokes. The issue doesn't happen on Mac so that we failed to catch the abnormality.

Everything was fine with Lucee 2.5.6.60 on both Windows and Mac, though.
