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-971] - Implement caching strategy for application helper lookups into the template cache
  • [COLDBOX-972] - Coldbox DataMarshaller Throws Error with Lucee-Light Engine
  • [COLDBOX-974] - Have the html helper manifests in local memory instead of the template cache to avoid cleanup issues
  • [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

BoxLang 1.15.0 Released: Blazing Fast Strings, Runtime Portability, and much more

BoxLang 1.15.0 is a high-impact release with two big headlines and a long tail of hardening. The first headline is a massive performance upgrade to string handling: a new first-class BoxStringBuilder type, compile-time literal folding, smarter &= semantics, and a runtime concat strategy that automatically switches to builder-backed accumulation once your expression gets big enough. Your existing string-heavy code just got faster. No rewrites required.

MatchBox Web Server: BoxLang Without the Full Server Stack

MatchBox Web Server: BoxLang Without the Full Server Stack

MatchBox includes a native web runtime for building small, fast BoxLang web applications without requiring a JVM or a traditional servlet container. You can follow the MatchBox open beta at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox. There are two related pieces in the beta today: a webroot server for .bxm templates and static assets, and a routed app server built around web.server(). Both are early, but they show the direction clearly: BoxLang should be able to serve HTTP from a compact native runtime when the application does not need the full JVM stack.
