I will be releasing a minor update this Friday for ColdBox. This is special, because it now includes a JavaLoader CFC plug-in and it works great. It remains true to the actual cfc, just a little bit simpler to use. I will be including a new sample application to demonstrate how to use the JavaLoader cfc and updating the Wiki. It also includes a fix for the CustomException Handler, it now has the exceptionBean in the request collection for usage if needed. Code cleanup and removal of unused files that escaped my mind. A good note about the CustomExceptionHandler receiving the ExceptionBean is that you can determine the type of error and determine what to do with it. For example, all of the framework internals throw certain types of errors that can be handled by this exception handler. ( ExceptionBean.getType() ) One that I use very often is: Framework.EventSyntaxInvalidException You can use this if the event being passed via the url is incorrect. Framework.EventHandlerNotRegisteredException You can use this if the event that is tried to be executed is not a registered handler in the framework. You can then proceed to redirect or do the necessary steps to deal with this exception. I will be posting this revision on Friday. I would also welcome your feedback, you can comment here on this Blog, or use the Forums or just email me at cfColdBox@gmail.com Enjoy

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.
