We have now released version 1.6 of the ColdBox Platform Utilities extension for ColdFusion Builder.  This 1.6 updates almost all of the assets and internal templates for some nice refactoring.  You can use the auto update features if you like, however, we recommend for this release to do a manual override, as there are several things that need to removed also.  The upcoming releases will be more stable in terms of auto-updating.  Or if you are adventurous, just click on the Auto Update features and voila done!


Version 1.6 Updates
  • Lots syntax updates and refactoring
  • Addition of css/js and jquery assets
  • Install from ForgeBox by slug entry.  You can now very easily install ANY entry from ForgeBox by just using its unique slug
  • Lots of updates for setting up interceptors with or without programmatic configurations

When trying to auto-update, I get the following error (looks like an "access denied):

Are the right permissions set for this? Meaning can the CF engine have write capabilities in that folder?

Introducing bx-jwt: Enterprise-Grade JSON Web Tokens for BoxLang 🔐

JWT authentication is everywhere. But rolling it correctly — with proper algorithm enforcement, key management, clock skew handling, JWE encryption, and zero security footguns — is anything but trivial. Today, we're shipping bx-jwt, a production-ready JWT/JWE module for BoxLang that handles all of it out of the box, so you can focus on building, not fighting cryptography.

What “Modernize or Die” Really Means in 2026

“Modernize or Die” is not about forcing teams into MVC, chasing trends, or rewriting every CFML application from scratch. It means making sure your applications, teams, and processes can survive the future: easier to maintain, test, secure, deploy, document, hire for, and evolve. In 2026, modernization is less about adopting the newest pattern and more about reducing business risk, protecting the value already built into your systems, and ensuring CFML applications remain credible, sustai...
