After nearly a year of relentless iteration, rigorous testing, blood, sweat, lots of praying, tears, and over 1,000 resolved tickets, we proudly announce the first Release Candidate (RC1) of BoxLang! With 27 beta versions behind us, we are now on the final stretch toward the official 1.0 release.
The amazing CFML community leader Ray Camden recently shared his thoughts on BoxLang, a dynamic scripting language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). BoxLang is lightweight (only 6 MB) and doesn’t require Java knowledge, making it accessible to developers from all backgrounds. Whether you're building CLI scripts, web applications, or experimenting with serverless architecture, BoxLang has you covered.
At Ortus Solutions, we are dedicated to delivering the best experience for our Into the Box attendees. This year’s event will be an exciting opportunity to explore BoxLang and modern CFML development, and we want to ensure that attending in person is even more rewarding.

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.
