In preparation for the 1.1.0 release of ColdBox, I am writing documentation like crazy so I can help developers understand more on how to use this framework. I have just finished all of the Guides and a new section which actually lists all the thrown exceptions by the framework. You can take a look at the list here: Exceptions List Guides: Guides FAQ FAQ So please check out the Trac wiki for all the updated documentation and all the features that will be on 1.1.0. Again, if you have any questions on why use the framework, differences, or your experience with ColdBox, please post it in the comments. All your questions please, so I can add them to the FAQ. If you have any good articles about your experience with ColdBox, please send them to me, so I can add them to the Articles section of the wiki. If you have no idea what ColdBox is? Well please READ!!! If you also have some public projects that you want to showcase, please send me the URL, so I can post them in the wiki section for it. Thanks again for your support.

Building Native CLI Apps with MatchBox & Native Fusion
MatchBox makes BoxLang practical for a classic deployment target: the single-file command-line application.
The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox.
With the MatchBox native target, you can compile a .bxs script into a standalone executable for macOS, Linux, or Windows. The generated binary includes the MatchBox VM core and your compiled BoxLang bytecode. It does not require a JVM, a separate MatchBox install, or any runtime on the target machine.
