It has been a long road and we are proud to announce our first beta of our 3.0.0 line for ColdBox.  There are over 192 closed issues corresponding to enhancements, fixes and tasks for this first beta release.  We have created several upgrade guides and what's new guide to get you started with this new release.  All of the new features have not been documented fully, but will be soon as development continues.  The major updates as we have been seeing is the modularization of its internal services into standalone frameworks: LogBox, Cache, and MockBox (more coming soon).

So if you want to start developing on a next generation development platform for ColdFusion, start now: http://www.coldbox.org/index.cfm/download

Great news! Bundle and Standalone seem to be the same file? At least, both of them have the same size... I have problems with the dashboard - when I try to call it, I get the following error: "The config.xml file does not validate with the framework's schema." Tried to update in coldbox.xml.cfm from config_2.6.0.xsd to config_3.0.0.xsd - no success. And I get the same error within one of my own applications (also after adapting 2.6.0.xsd to 3.0.0.xsd. Any Ideas?

Hi. I will check the download. As for the config not validating well read the compatible guide. 3.0.0 is a major release and not everything is backwards compatible.

yes, but the (included) dashboard shout work, shouldn't it? I've checked the compatibility guide; nothing special found. And my app is (at the moment) more or less the app skeleton from the 2.6. app skeleton; nothing more. ...

The dashboard error is def a bug and will update soon. As for 2.6 config files they will have to be updated to the new 3 format

FYI, From a clean install of Coldfusion 8 and an install of the downloaded zip for 3.0, the Coldbox samples index page opens fine but the dashboard gives me the same error message described.

@orcpac7 Yes, the dashboard is not yet fully compatible. We work on the core first and then the auxiliary apps. So most likely the dashboard will be updated in future betas or RC releases until core changes are completed.
