Jason Dean has started a very nice, concise and well documented tutorial series on using ColdBox. I have added his series to the ColdBox wiki also. This is a great resource, so keep up the good work Jason!!

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 : Introducing Inner Classes
BoxLang has always embraced a simple truth: the way you organize code shapes the way you think about problems. For a long time, if you needed a helper class, you needed a file. One class, one .bx file, no exceptions. That's clean and predictable, but it creates real friction when a class is tightly coupled to exactly one caller and has no business existing anywhere else.
