Release Notes

ColdBox HMVC Core

Bug

  • [COLDBOX-890] - Renderer methods assume the module exists and throws exception when sending invalid url data
  • [COLDBOX-914] - Can no longer have duplicate routes with different conditions
  • [COLDBOX-935] - Colon (:) in URL Path Causes Exception Error
  • [COLDBOX-964] - invalidEventHandler does not work when calling invalid action on valid handler
  • [COLDBOX-967] - autowire annotation for test cases is not working as it should
  • [COLDBOX-968] - Fix declaring multiple resources at once
  • [COLDBOX-978] - AsyncManager threads don't release DB connections to pool for Adobe CF

New Feature

  • [COLDBOX-973] - Add new exception type catch for the RestHandler: PermissionDenied to trap in valid authorizations

Improvement

  • [COLDBOX-965] - Content type http header bypasses requestContext with render data - set explicit http header via request context

  • [COLDBOX-972] - Coldbox DataMarshaller Throws Error with Lucee-Light Engine

  • [COLDBOX-975] - Remove unnecessary locks for view path setups in the renderer
  • [COLDBOX-976] - Remove unnecessary lock in the bootstrap to get the controller reference, it's already there for the reload checks
  • [COLDBOX-979] - Moudle service now profiles registration and activation into the logs with the version and path of a module

WireBox

Improvement

  • [WIREBOX-111] - Refactor the way cffeed is used so that ACF 2021 doesn't choke on first startups, only when used

CacheBox

Bug

  • [CACHEBOX-67] - getStoreMetadataReport() - wrong order of the reduce() parameters

Meet the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter.

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

A server crashes.

Performance drops suddenly.
