If you haven't registered yet for ColdBox Developers Week, please head over to our site to check out the full week of free training we'll be putting on June 17th - 21st.

Even if you have registered, I'm pleased to share that we've enhanced the session and speaker detail pages to detect your time zone based on your IP address and show you when the sessions will start in your time zone.  I've been very excited to see registrations coming in from all around the world (India is kicking it!) and after several timezone-related questions, it seemed we should do more than just show the basic US time zones.

So, please check it out. Your time zone would be highlighted in red.  Let me know if it doesn't seem correct.  If you access the Internet through a proxy, you might get incorrect behavior if your proxy doesn't pass along the HTTP_X_Forwarded_For value.

In related news, ForgeBox now has a cool new ColdBox plugin for GeoLocation based on IP address.  All you need is a free API key from http://www.ipinfodb.com and you can deliver localized content to your users too!

Building Native CLI Apps with MatchBox & Native Fusion

MatchBox makes BoxLang practical for a classic deployment target: the single-file command-line application.

The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox.

With the MatchBox native target, you can compile a .bxs script into a standalone executable for macOS, Linux, or Windows. The generated binary includes the MatchBox VM core and your compiled BoxLang bytecode. It does not require a JVM, a separate MatchBox install, or any runtime on the target machine.
