Now that 2.5 is out and the Dashboard 2.2.2 is also out, what do you expect for further releases. Russ Johnson joined team ColdBox and he is brining a tons of new ideas and funky stuff that will blow your mind. But apart from those, what are your expectations on ColdBox? What do you want from this framework AND toolkit!! More plugins? More interceptors? More GUI releated ideas? More debugging tools? What? Also, what are your thoughts on the ColdBox Dashboard Application? Does it make your life easier to start a project? What features do you want on it? What would make you use the Dashboard as part of your development? (Please note, that the dashboard is separate from the framework) So give me your thoughts and ideas!!

Your API Returns 200. Did the Business Transaction Actually Work?
The customer submits an order. The portal shows a confirmation. The API returns 200 OK, and the release checks pass.
The next morning, operations asks why the order never appeared in the approval queue. Support has a ticket. A developer has to trace the order through the database and figure out whether someone can safely submit it again.

BoxLang AI 3.7: Profiles, Embeddings Defaults and MCP Rate Limiting
Ortus Solutions announces the release of BoxLang AI 3.7. Name a provider, model, params and API key once, then pick it by name for a call, an agent, or a single agent run.

BoxLang 1.19.0: See Everything Your Code Does
Ortus Solutions today announces the release of BoxLang 1.19.0, the software productivity platform for building, modernizing and running applications, with developers and AI agents working together. This release is about observability: built-in code coverage and execution profiling, the missing post-invocation events for BIFs, and new query and transaction events, and it pairs with the new BxLens beta, the debug bar and ops console that exposes hotspots and bytecode profilers. It also adds your own global settings in boxlang.json, static method interception, raw binary HTTP streaming and a lot of hardening across JDBC, Java interop and CFML compatibility.

love to see ColdBox Dashboard to be opensourced, as it was in the earlier releases.

+1 on open sourcing the dashboard. That's one of the things that puts me off ColdBox (although, as I've mentioned to you before, the main thing that puts me off are the very in your face Christian quotations in some of the files - and I've spoken to others who find this very off-putting).

Whoa -- I haven't even been able to fully explore all the V2.5 features yet! As for the dashboard, I haven't been using it. I have to remember to play with it more often.
