We are pleased to release at Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2018 the latest release of the CommandBox CLI, version 4.3.0.  This is a minor release and contains a handful of bug fixes and some nice new features including preliminary Java 9,10, and 11 support.  There were 25 tickets closed out in this release.

We are proud to finally release version 1.0.0 of CFConfig.  This library has been in development for nearly two years (20 months) and is already in use for production deploys and development setups.  CFConfig is a CLI tool built upon a set of services that can manage the configuration of your Adobe, Lucee, and Railo servers so you never have to manually setup a server again. 

Today we are very excited to bring you the release of our latest Docker container for ContentBox v4.1.0. This is a major re-work of our container images as we now support over 6 different variations of our images, from warmed up servers to alpine versions of ContentBox. We have also added tons of new optimizations and environment variables to control container deployments. Ultimately, we have also updated our images to leverage the latest CommandBox 4.2.0 image!

        js_path = "",

        // Auto-XSS encode values when using the HTML Helper output methods
        encodeValues = false
    }
}
