Hot off the presses, ColdBox Elixir v4 is now available on NPM. This is a massive upgrade under the hood, but it shouldn't require any API changes if you are using just Elixir methods. (If you are customizing Webpack directly, you may need to make additional changes.) Please check out the Migration Guide for help upgrading.

ColdBox Elixir v4 upgrades Elixir to work with the latest version of Node (16+) and Webpack (5+). You should notice some nice speed improvements as a result.

Massive thanks to Jon Clausen who was responsible for these upgrades.

Enjoy and happy bundling!

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.
