Function calling is where most AI frameworks look deceptively simple on the surface and turn into a mess underneath. You define a tool, pass it to the LLM, and when the LLM calls it — who handles the lifecycle? Who fires observability events? Who serializes the result? Who resolves the tool by name when the only thing you have is a string?

Every AI framework eventually hits the same wall: your system prompts start drifting. Agent A has a slightly different version of the SQL rules than Agent B. The tone policy on your support bot is three weeks behind the tone policy on your documentation bot. Someone copy-pasted the wrong version. Nobody noticed.

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.

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 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.

Happy New Year! The BoxLang team is excited to announce BoxLang 1.9.0, a significant stability and compatibility release focused on production-readiness thanks to our client migrations and new application deployments. This release also introduces array-based form field parsing conventions, enhanced datasource lifecycle management, improved context handling, and resolves over 50 critical bugs to ensure enterprise-grade reliability for mission-critical applications.

Welcome to DocBox v5! We didn't just update DocBox. We rebuilt it from the ground up.

DocBox v5.0.0 represents a complete architectural rewrite—modern syntax, blazing performance, and a stunning new look that finally brings API documentation into 2025. Gone are the clunky HTML pages of yesteryear. Say hello to a gorgeous, theme-driven single-page application that makes browsing your API docs feel like using a premium developer tool. We have also released a dedicated module for BoxLang: BX-DOCBOX. A fully interactive CLI tool for generating your docs from the command line using pure BoxLang.
