Due to the significant enhancements on ColdBox, the 1.2.0 release now becomes 2.0.0. Why? Well, almost all of my planning for a major release have been done so that is why. I am migrating everything for this and I apologize for the confusions, but this release is deservant of its own version. You can read more on this release at the Trac Site Another important change with this release is a license change. I have moved the framework to an Apache 2 License. This is to facilitate organizations who would like to build on top of ColdBox. This will be a less constrictive license for users and better for the developers and organizations who use ColdBox. Apart from the license duties, you must leave the copyright notices intact in the source code. A visible powered by coldbox logo or text is optional, and not mandatory. Also, please note that work on this project is of my free-will, so your donations go a long way to maintain this project alive. So you can Donate via paypal. Donate Now! Thanks again for your support and stay tuned as more will be revealed in the following days as the launch of 2.0.0 gets near.

Coming Soon: Version 4 Docker CommandBox Images with Enhanced Performance
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.
Free observability with BxMCP: give your AI agents eyes inside a live BoxLang runtime
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.
Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!
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.

First, congrats.
I would advice then including a license file with your distro, plus, automate an ant task to include the license in every file when you build.

Rob, you really need to help me with that. I have not looked at ANT and I am lost. Or point me to the right place where I can get started with ANT.
I really want to dedicate the time to learn it this week.

Keep up the great work. I really like what you are doing with the framework.
One thing I would be very interested to see is the use of OpenID credentials in the system so you could use your OpenID to login to any ColdBox hosted site. I think this would be another great feature to set ColdBox apart from the rest of the pack.

Hi Reuben,
I think this would be great to implement as a custom plugin. If you have any ideas on how to implement this or to even code it. Then please ping me about it.

I have not done any work with it as yet. I was just reading about the system today and was very please with what I read. Should I do some work with it, I will let you know so a plugin could be developed. I think that is a very good approach to adding OpenID to coldbox so those who don't want it don't have to use it.
