Finally you can test drive the up and coming ColdBox 1.2.0. There are so many improvements and enhancements to list here.
Below is a sample of the readme. The most notable improvements are IoC integration (coldspring/lightwire), ColdBox in-memory caching manager for event handler caching, plugin caching, custom plugin caching and custom data caching (Event template caching is coming...). The cache is unique, since it displays in the debugging panel the effectiveness of the cache in hits and misses, the amount of items in cache, what items are in the cache, and the reaping parameters. Event handler packages, datasource aliases, and much more.
1.2.0 Milestone Information
I will be updating all the guides this week for 1.2.0, so please be patient with me as there is considerable documentation for this release.
Please look at the samples gallery, and the most notable is the ColdBoxReader. It has been updated to a services architecture and also uses ColdSpring and ColdBox's new IOC plugin, so please check it out.
Well, just head out to the forums to get your brand new 1.2.0 beta.

I will be posting more information in the coming days. So stay tuned.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxLang Ranges Part 1: First-Class Intervals, Zero Compromises
There is a moment in every language's evolution when a convenience syntax grows up and becomes something worth thinking about. For BoxLang, that moment arrived with ranges. We had always wanted to be able to do this in our CFML apps, and we finally can
