Ortus Solutions today announces the release of BoxLang 1.19.0, the software productivity platform for building, modernizing and running applications, with developers and AI agents working together. This release is about observability: built-in code coverage and execution profiling, the missing post-invocation events for BIFs, and new query and transaction events, and it pairs with the new BxLens beta, the debug bar and ops console that exposes hotspots and bytecode profilers. It also adds your own global settings in boxlang.json, static method interception, raw binary HTTP streaming and a lot of hardening across JDBC, Java interop and CFML compatibility.

Learn how to define, build, and run AI agents with BxAgents in a hands-on session organized by Malaga-AI and sponsored by Ortus Solutions! 🚀

Building an AI agent means connecting instructions, models, tools, and application logic. A clear project structure makes those pieces easier to organize and develop.

Florida International University students are gaining hands-on software development experience through an ongoing collaboration with Ortus Solutions, building applications with BoxLang and BoxLang AI while exploring opportunities to contribute to the technologies themselves.

CommandBox Docker images were the first CFML docker images and have nearly 2 million pulls, since their inception, to date. It's been a source of pride at Ortus that these images have been the most popular and reliable way to run CFML in containers and we are so very pleased to announce the next evolution, which will be the v4 images which run entirely on the BoxLang CLI and represent a significant overhaul of the image architecture.

These images are now available to test by appending -snapshot to your existing version tags and wil be released as stable, once CommandBox v6 emerges from release candidate status and is published as stable.

Ortus Solutions today announces that bx-mcp, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for BoxLang, is now free for everyone. Install it, point any MCP capable client at it, and your AI coding assistant, IDE agent or automation pipeline can inspect and operate a live BoxLang runtime: JVM, caches, datasources, slow requests, schedulers, logs and more. No BoxLang+ subscription required.

You need to change an application that has been running for years.

It might be a ColdFusion customer portal, a Lucee application supporting internal operations, or a CFML system your team is preparing to modernize. People depend on it, but some of its behavior lives in old tickets, scattered documentation, and the memory of whoever has supported it longest.

Now a release is approaching. You know more testing would help. The difficult part is deciding where to begin without putting every other priority on hold.

Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.
