First of all, let me apologize for a bad connection and even worse my fan in my mac blew up, so It felt like I was inside of a turbine. Anyways, the presso did not go as I planned, but hey, things happen. We will try again in about two weeks, and hopefully it will work better. For now, you can find the presentations posted up on the wiki if you would like a sneek peek. http://ortus.svnrepository.com/coldbox/trac.cgi#MediaPresentations Again, I apologize, and we will have better luck next time.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxLang Ranges Part 1: First-Class Intervals, Zero Compromises
There is a moment in every language's evolution when a convenience syntax grows up and becomes something worth thinking about. For BoxLang, that moment arrived with ranges. We had always wanted to be able to do this in our CFML apps, and we finally can

BoxLang 1.14.0 : Local Template Classes - Define Classes Right Where You Need Them
BoxLang 1.14 ships with one of the most developer-friendly OOP features we've built yet: local template classes. If you've ever created a throwaway .bx file just to hold a five-line helper class, this one's for you.

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.

Thanks for all your effort Luis, even though the preso didn't go as planned the PDF you posted pointed out some great new features. I'm already making heavy use of the interceptors and the coldboxproxy (from Flex) and can't thank you enough for both! I had started with Flex/Coldbox and a separate common model with a transfer config but driving all the remote access through Coldbox (w/ Coldspring / Transfer and common security, logging and state management facilities) has made things MUCH easier. On the Flex side I've been really happy (and productive) using PureMVC (especially vs. trying Cairngorm).
Thanks again!

Thanks Chris!! That is great stuff!! Hopefully you can post your results on this and give people insight on the Flex/ColdBox integration.
Since this is so new, if you write something on it, I can publish it on the wiki. Thanks Chris!!
