BoxLang 1.14.0 : Sets, Ranges, Inner Classes, and a Runtime That Talks Back

BoxLang has never stood still, but 1.14.0 is something different. This is the release where the language stops filling gaps and starts defining what a modern dynamic JVM language looks like on its own terms. Sixty-five issues closed. Four innovative language features. A formatter that has grown up. And a companion module - bx-mcp - that fundamentally changes how you operate a running BoxLang application with AI.

BoxLang Image Module 1.7.0: Full Format Freedom with WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF and Built-in CAPTCHA

The BoxLang image module just landed two back-to-back releases that make it significantly more capable. 1.6.0 brought CAPTCHA generation. 1.7.0 adds four new image formats, fixes a silent write bug that has been producing PNG files regardless of what extension you asked for, and adds proper alpha channel handling for formats that don't support transparency. Let's dig in. 🚀

🚀 Introducing BoxLang MCP: Give Your AI a Window Into Your Running BoxLang Application

You launch your BoxLang application, traffic flows, schedulers execute, caches warm, threads spin. And when something goes wrong, you jump between logs, dashboards, admin panels, and monitoring tools to piece together the full picture. Meanwhile, your AI coding assistant only understands your source code. It has no visibility into your running application. It cannot tell you why your thread pool is saturated, whether cache performance is degrading, or which scheduled task silently failed overnight.
