If you've been waiting to play with ColdBox, or tried in the past and gave up, we want to invite you to come check out our ColdBox Lite Kickoff Event at Noon CST on Wednesday November 14th.
 
Team ColdBox will be announcing the lastest step in the life of the ColdBox framework.  We have heard your requests for a smaller, more lightweight version of ColdBox for people who simply want blazing fast MVC conventions without worring about the extra tooling they don't need right now.  As a result, we have finished the final step in our collection of *Box frameworks by extracting just the MVC core of ColdBox to stand on its own.  The result is a lean, mean, lightweight MVC framework weighing in at about 500K in size.  
 
ColdBox Lite follows the same simple conventions and is fully cross-compatible with regular ColdBox.  When you're ready to upgrade to the regular version, it will be a simple matter of dropping in the full platform and switching your apps bootstrap point in Application.cfc.
 
The ColdBox Lite Kickoff Event will be a special edition of our ColdBox Connection series and will be in the regular meeting room:

ColdBox CLI 8.11 is here, and it's one of the most significant releases we've shipped for AI-assisted development. This release wires the CLI directly into our brand new public skills directory at skills.boxlang.io, brings our AI tooling in line with industry-wide agent conventions, and introduces a wave of quality-of-life improvements that make AI integration feel less like setup and more like infrastructure.
