In our 2.6.1 release we included a new developer toolbar called the ColdBox SideBar. You can see a screenshot below: The SideBar enables the developer to have a floating toolbar that will assist on development. You can reinit the framework, clear the cache, clear the log files, clear some of the most used scopes like session and client, and so much more. It also appends itself to errors when they occur, so you can easily reinitialize or search for the errors in the live docs or the forums. Yes, you can search right from the sidebar. Another extra feature is that the links declared are all customizable, so you can customize your own sidebar according to your project, create internal or external links, or anything you like. Another extra feature is that the sidebar is completely skinnable via css, so you can make it look pretty!! So skin it and send over your screenshots.

Open at the Core. Ready for Production: BoxLang

Open at the Core. Ready for Production: BoxLang

Open source should give developers freedom not push them into a corner when an application becomes successful.

That principle shaped one of the most important segments of the Into the Box 2026 Day 1 keynote: the continued evolution of BoxLang+, BoxLang++, and the growing ecosystem of professional modules surrounding the language.

BoxLang in Motion: Modern Web App Development

BoxLang in Motion: Modern Web App Development

The Day 1 keynote at Into the Box 2026 was not simply a list of new BoxLang features.

It showed what happens when a language, compiler, runtime, deployment model, and developer ecosystem evolve together around one goal: helping teams build modern applications without unnecessary complexity.
