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! :)

We are pleased to announce a minor maintenance release of CommandBox. Version 4.4.0 is released just in time for CFCamp with a handful of fixes and a few nice features.   I'm writing this up on the plane on my way to Germany for CFCamp so I'll be brief :)  

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

ColdBox

The major areas of improvement for the ColdBox core where on tons of fixes, however there are some nice new features discussed below.

Bugs

• [COLDBOX-597] - Function addAsset generate wrong link if asset path contains ".js"
• [COLDBOX-668] - Make implicit views case sensitive by default for linux systems
• [COLDBOX-677] - HTML HELPER - Fix a requirement for columnName if column is defined
• [COLDBOX-696] - Passing headers to `request` breaks RoutingService when in test mode
• [COLDBOX-724] - Add ENV overload in detectEnvironment() via ENVIRONMENT system setting/property
• [COLDBOX-726] - setNextEvent does not exist in coldbox.system.web.Controller
• [COLDBOX-727] - fail fast strong typed to boolean, update to allow custom closures/lambdas
• [COLDBOX-729] - getRenderData\(\) in base test case was not looking at the right request collection
• [COLDBOX-732] - Fail fast can't be turned off for original behavior of ColdBox 4
• [COLDBOX-736] - Module mappings disappear when not unloading ColdBox in base test case
• [COLDBOX-738] - Clear not working on string builders: Use setLength\(0\) since clear is not a method on StringBuilder
• [COLDBOX-740] - When using group\(\)operations with a handler and no explicit handler routing call added, route never registered the handler

New Features

• [COLDBOX-722] - New global directive: autoMapModels which if true, it will map all root models just like modules do.

This will allow root models to behave like modules where all models are registered automatically for you but with no namespace.

• [COLDBOX-737] - toAction() terminator is missing from the new router DSL

This terminator was missing from the new Routing DSL. This will allow you to build up routes that terminate at an action.

The main application router and ALL module routers are now also interceptors.

Improvements

• [COLDBOX-730] - Implicitly pass args from renderLayout() into the rendered views
• [COLDBOX-739] - List modules which have already been processed when a module cannot be activated to help with debugging

LogBox

Bugs

• [LOGBOX-29] - when using async option on FileAppender, nothing logs, well now it does!

New Features

• [LOGBOX-31] - Add defaultValue arguments to getProperty() methods on abstract appenders

Improvements

• [LOGBOX-30] - Leave off text "ExtraInfo: " from console appender if empty string

WireBox

Bugs

• [WIREBOX-76] - Virtual inheritance not injecting generic getters and setters correctly on target objects
• [WIREBOX-77] - Virtual inheritance not inheriting init from super class

Improvements

• [WIREBOX-51] - Add method to binder to override alias of current mapping, by passing the current mapping to the influencer closure
• [WIREBOX-75] - Don't exclude path in parent mapping destinations
• [WIREBOX-78] - Simplify error message for missing dependency to be human readable

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!
