It's been a while since we've shipped something this big. BoxLang AI 3.0 is a ground-up rethink of how AI agents, models, and tools work in the BoxLang ecosystem — and it lands with ten major features at once.

TestBox 7.x series continues our mission to be the best testing framework for BoxLang and CFML. This release is focused heavily on BoxLang CLI runner enhancements, real-time streaming test execution via SSE, a powerful dry run capability, the brand-new TestBox RUN web IDE, and significant quality-of-life improvements for developers working in both BoxLang and CFML environments.

If you've been watching the AI-assisted development wave from the sidelines, wondering when it would actually matter for your ColdBox HMVC stack — the wait is over. The latest ColdBox CLI release ships a brand-new ai namespace that transforms how you and your team interact with coding agents like Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini and many more.

This isn't a chatbot integration or a prompt template sitting in a README. This is a full framework-aware AI system built directly into your development workflow.

We're proud to announce BoxLang 1.11.0, a highly focused performance and stability release that delivers measurable speed improvements across every BoxLang application, with zero code changes required. The team invested deeply in bytecode generation, class loading, lock management, and type casting to produce one of the most impactful runtime optimization releases to date. Alongside the performance wave, this release resolves critical concurrency bugs, hardens DateTime handling, and ships powerful new developer tooling.

We're excited to announce the official BoxLang Homebrew tap — the easiest way to get BoxLang up and running on macOS (and Linux with Homebrew). One command, and you're in business.

We're excited to announce the release of the BoxLang NeoVim Plugin - a comprehensive syntax highlighting solution designed specifically for BoxLang developers working in Vim and NeoVim environments. This isn't a port or adaptation of existing CFML syntax files; it's a ground-up implementation built for BoxLang's modern feature set. Coming soon as well will be our runners, syntax validators, and integration with our LSP for live previews, insights, and much more.

TL;DR: We just released a production-ready starter template that deploys a modern BoxLang application to DigitalOcean App Platform in under 5 minutes—starting at just $5/month. One-click deployment, auto-scaling, automatic redeployments, and zero downtime included.

We're excited to announce BoxLang AI v2.1.0, a major release that brings enterprise-grade features to your AI-powered applications. This release focuses on production readiness with multi-tenant usage tracking, scalable OpenSearch vector memory, complete AWS Bedrock integration, and simplified provider configuration.

We're excited to announce BoxLang 1.10.0, a feature-packed release that brings powerful functional programming capabilities, elegant loop syntax, and enterprise-grade distributed locking to the BoxLang runtime. This release represents a significant leap forward in developer productivity and application scalability.

One Year. 100+ Features. Unlimited Possibilities.

Just one year ago, in March 2024, we launched BoxLang AI 1.0. Today, we're thrilled to announce BoxLang AI v2—a massive leap forward that positions BoxLang as the most powerful and versatile AI framework on the JVM.
