I have just released a partial list of the release notes for 2.6.0 Beta 1 that will be released in the coming days. You can find also a compatibility guide and a what's new guide, so you can see what are all the cool new features. One of the new things is that I am now delving into Eclipse and the first official ColdBox Eclipse Plugin is now online. The eclipse update site can now be found here: http://www.coldboxframework.com/distribution/eclipse/ Enjoy the coming eclipse plugins... UPDATE: The update site shown above is meant to be used within eclipse. For further instructions, see http://www.coldboxframework.com/index.cfm/download/extras

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge
The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.
That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type
BoxLang 1.14.0 ships something that JVM developers have wanted for a long time: a true first-class Set type baked directly into the language. Not a wrapper you reach for manually, not a createObject( "java", "java.util.HashSet" ) incantation you paste from a Stack Overflow answer years ago. A real BoxSet with literal syntax, operator overloads, a full functional pipeline, change listeners, JSON serialization, and deep Java interop.

Luis.....do you ever sleep my friend? Great stuff. Am using 2.5.2 for a current project, but you keep making me want to use the next version. But those pesky timelines...

Luis,
The eclipse update site link is broken.

You need to use the built-in eclipse updater to install the plugin.
Help -> Software Updates -> Find & Install -> New Features.
Then add the url as the location for the plugin.
To view the API open up the Help view and it should be the last one listed under 'All Topics'.
Luis, please correct me if I missed any steps.
