The problem is not that your team lacks priorities.It is that maintenance, delivery, and long-term improvement are competing for the same people.
For companies running business-critical CFML, ColdFusion, or BoxLang applications, that pressure can be especially difficult to solve. Experienced developers are not always easy to hire quickly, application knowledge may be concentrated in one or two people, and a generalist may need significant context before taking ownership of the work. A permanent hire can also require a significant investment in recruiting, compensation, onboarding, and long-term capacity even when the immediate need is a specific project, urgent maintenance, or a period of transition.
Reasoning-capable models have been usable in BoxLang AI for a while. params passes straight through to the provider body, so params: { thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 } } for Claude, or params: { reasoning_effort: "high" } for OpenAI, already reached the API. What never worked was reading the reasoning back. It was parsed out on arrival and silently dropped. In 3.4.0, that's fixed, and it's fixed the same way for every provider.
TestBox 7.1.0 is here, and it is the largest single expansion of our assertion and expectation library since TestBox was born.

How about a discount on it for those of use that already ordered (and received) the hard copy? BTW, my book arrived very quickly. I ordered it the morning after it was announced.

The ebook is 39.99, but I still don't know how to offer discounts under the ebook system. Once I do, if they offer discounts, I could honor them.
However, I have no control over it now.

This is really good news, I would still like a hard copy so may wait until I can get it from the UK Amazon store, but thanks for this option. :)

Hi Luis,
Thank you for the book.
I have a few questions:
1. If I purchase the eBook now and a discount code is available later can I claim it?
2. When version 3 is available as an eBook, will people who bought this one get a discount?
3. If I buy this book can I use the version 3 of the framework or it will jut confuse me?
Thanks

once I get the ability to offer discount codes I will blog about it and you must send me the original invoice and I will honor the discount.
As for discounts for version 3 the same will apply. However as of now I am still waiting to see if it is possible on the ebook versions.
Version 3 is a progression of the platform and still in active development. The core concepts remain the same. The differences can be seen in the compatibility guide. However I say that 85-90% of 2.6 applies to version 3.
