If you are upgrading to 2.5.0 RC 1 from previous versions, please make sure that you use the updated Application.cfc and index.cfm files in the Application Template folder. Application.cfc support has changed a lot of how the framework boots up and it has gotten more solid as the release approaches. However, changes have been made since the first beta of 2.5 and will solidify until the release.
So if you are upgrading, please make sure you upgrade your Application.cfc and index.cfm file templates. 2.5 supports Application.cfm still, however, you must use the index.cfm template to include the /coldbox/system/coldbox.cfm file.
AGAIN, PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE TO USE THE INCLUDED APPLICATION.CFC AND INDEX.CFM

Introducing BoxLang AI Explorer: A Local Catalog for Every AI Pattern
Learning a new AI API usually means jumping between scattered documentation pages, guessing at imports, and copy-pasting code that may or may not still work. We wanted something better for BoxLang AI, so we built the BoxLang AI Explorer: a local, browser-based catalog of runnable BoxLang AI examples, organized by category and difficulty, each with guidance, source code, and sample output.

BoxLang at Florida International University: Supporting the Next Generation of Modern Devs
The future of software development depends on more than the technologies we use. It depends on the people who learn to use them, improve them, challenge assumptions, and apply them to real-world problems.
