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.

Please make sure to posts you comments and suggestions in the forums, also the bugs. This is important. I need your feedback.
I will be posting more information in the coming days. So stay tuned.

Speaker Featuring - Round 1
Every conference is more than the talks we see on stage it’s also the story of the people who make it possible.
With the first round of Into the Box 2026 sessions and workshops now live, we’re excited to introduce some of the speakers who will be joining us this year. These community members, practitioners, and Ortus team experts bring decades of real-world experience across CFML, BoxLang, JVM modernization, testing, AI, and cloud-native development.

First Round of the Into the Box 2026 Agenda Is Live
Into the Box 2026 marks an important moment for the CFML and BoxLang community not just because of what’s on the agenda, but because of what it represents: 20 years of Ortus Solutions helping teams move forward, modernize, and build with confidence.
