ColdBox 4.0: What We Kept
ColdBox 4.0 is a major release for the ColdBox line. The most major since its original release in June 2006. To boost efficency and open up options, we've removed a lot of non-necessary items from the core installation and made them available through modular architecture instead. However, there are some thing that we've kept - and for good reason. This post discusses what we kept in the core of ColdBox 4.0 and why.
RunEvent Caching - Accelerate your events
In ColdBox 4 we have expanded the runEvent() method to allow you to add caching parameters so ColdBox can take care of caching output from events. This is a great way to accelerate the execution of widgets or viewlets within an application as it will execute them and cache them as needed. Here is the new signature for the runEvent() method.
CacheBox 2.0, WireBox 2.0, and LogBox 2.0 Released
In tandem with our ColdBox 4.0 release, we are publishing major releases of the core Box libraries as well:
