The beta for ColdBox 2.6.0 will be coming soon and its full of wonderful optimizations and some new features. You can read all about its progress here. The compatibility guide is also being written and if you are upgrading from previous releases you might want to check it out just in case there is something you need to update.

As you can see from the screenshot above, the new 2.6.0 comes with an eclipse documentation plugin, that embeds the entire codebase API into your eclipse help. The other cool thing is that all the documentation was produced by a coldbox application using the updated cfcViewer plugin. As you can see from the screenshot, the class documented is the new MXUnit class to support unit testing via MXUnit. Anyways, the plugin is now available in the nightly build or via SVN, and there might be some other plugins coming your way? (Husshhh) or maybe even a wiki? (Hushhhh)

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

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 : 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.
