We are pleased to announce that CommandBox 4.5.0-rc is available for testing. This is a new minor release with over 25 completed tickets. There are a lot of little fixes and a handful of nice features, several of which I'd like to get a few eyeballs on before setting the release in stone. 4.5 will only be in release candidate for a week or two so please test it soon or all bugs will be deferred until next year! :)

Many of the cool new features came as pull requests for the community.  Thanks a ton to everyone who contributed!
