Ortus Solutions is proud to announce the general availability of ColdBox 4.0.0, WireBox 2.0.0, CacheBox 2.0.0 and LogBox 2.0.0.  This has been over 1 year of hard work from the engineering team to bring you some great updates to our complete web development framework line.

ColdBox has become one of the most widely used MVC frameworks and we take it to another level in this release by completely modularizing the core even further and decoupling all major functionality into Core Modules that can be assembled by CommandBox for you, our very own CFML CLI and Package Manager.  This means that the source has been reduced by over 80% which leaves core MVC as the only thing delivered with ColdBox now.  Everything else is optional and brought on-demand via CommandBox.  There are over 50 issues and features in this release and you can find out much more about it in our brand new ColdBox Manual book and engineering blog.

ColdBox Manual

That's right!  The entire documentation for the ColdBox Platform will be now delivered in book format and anybody can contribute as the documentation is now hosted in GitHub.  Users can also subscribe to documentation changes, download for iOS, Android, Kindle, PDF and much more.  We have been hearing everybody about how to improve our documentation and this is our first big step in making it easier for folks to find what they need.
