Building Native CLI Apps with MatchBox & Native Fusion
MatchBox makes BoxLang practical for a classic deployment target: the single-file command-line application.
The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox.
With the MatchBox native target, you can compile a .bxs script into a standalone executable for macOS, Linux, or Windows. The generated binary includes the MatchBox VM core and your compiled BoxLang bytecode. It does not require a JVM, a separate MatchBox install, or any runtime on the target machine.

Hi Luis,
Are there plans to make 2.6.2 final? I'm hesitant to download and install it if there are other changes in the works :).
Thanks!

It should be in the coming weeks. Just trying to make sure all new features are stabilized.

Hi Luis,
Thanks for the info! I'll probably d/l on some test servers, see how the changes look :).
