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.

A ColdBox version.

SES. Any chance of moving it back from 2.3? I can probably write a .htaccess file for you to remove the need for the whole part and have it simply do , if you'd like?

I second the SES, without the need need to type index.cfm/.

I think both approaches can be done. One with the front controller and the other one by pure web server rewrite

Any plans for an official ORM?

Not really, it is so easy to use Transfer or Object Breeze or Reactor with ColdBox, that it just doesn't make sense for me to delve into building an ORM. My personal choice is Transfer, I have been using it for a while now and don't see why I would ever want to create one.

How about adding the File Browser from the Dashboard as a plugin?

Handling form data like this:

It would be really neat to be able to pass arrays and structs based on the input names.

That is very interesting Dave, it could be a great addition to the beanFactory as an implicit manipulation. Maybe a setting in your application that activates complex form fields. Do you think that having a setting to turn this ON/OFF would be a good idea?

You would need to have a on/off setting I would think or it would break backwards-compatibility.

Having had sometime to think on it... I would think that add a new function or argument to the event scope might be better then an on/off setting... Such as:
event.getCollection('Implicit')
or
event.getImplicitCollection
that way it wouldn't be an all or nothing thing and you could use it when the situation suited you.
