BoxLang AI 3.2.0 is here, and it's a landmark release. We're shipping five major features — image generation, web search, a fluent audio builder API, a centralized agent registry, and deep MCP observability — along with a suite of analytics improvements and a critical bug fix. Let's dig in. 🎉

We listen. A lot. And one message has come through loud and clear from our community: teams want a way to get into the BoxLang ecosystem with commercial licensing, real tooling, and actual support — without jumping straight to a full BoxLang+ subscription.

BoxLang 1.13.0 is here, and it marks an important step forward for the platform. This release includes 48 tickets—every one of them completed—reflecting a focused effort on CFML compatibility, a more robust concurrency engine, a production-hardened miniserver, and meaningful tooling improvements.

Today we're launching something we've been quietly building for months: skills.boxlang.io — a public, agent-agnostic directory for AI skills covering BoxLang, ColdBox, TestBox, CommandBox, and the entire Ortus ecosystem.

ColdBox CLI 8.11 is here, and it's one of the most significant releases we've shipped for AI-assisted development. This release wires the CLI directly into our brand new public skills directory at skills.boxlang.io, brings our AI tooling in line with industry-wide agent conventions, and introduces a wave of quality-of-life improvements that make AI integration feel less like setup and more like infrastructure.

Today we're releasing cbMCP, the official ColdBox MCP Server — a BoxLang-only module that turns your running ColdBox application into a fully-compliant Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Plug in any MCP-capable AI client — Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode — and your AI assistant gets live, read-only introspection across the entire ColdBox platform: routing, handlers, modules, WireBox, CacheBox, LogBox, schedulers, interceptors, and async executors. 🎯

Today we're shipping the initial release of the BoxLang Desktop Runtime — powered by Electron, BoxLang, and Vite. With one starter, one npm run dev, and one packaging command, you can build and distribute professional desktop applications for macOS, Windows, and Linux using the BoxLang you already know. 🎯

BoxLang AI 3.1 is here, and it's a release that makes your agents smarter, faster, and more capable than ever. 🎉

We just shipped the BoxLang Google Cloud Functions Runtime — and it brings the same write-once-run-anywhere serverless experience you already know from our AWS Lambda runtime, now running natively on Google Cloud Functions Gen2.

We believe the best way to learn a programming language is by writing code — real code, with real feedback, and real tests. That's exactly why we built BoxLings.
