We are proud to announce yet another ColdBox Platform release version 3.5.3. This is an important patch release that addresses many important issues, but also introduces some great enhancements. This release also encompasses a new WireBox release (v1.6), new CacheBox release (v1.4) and new MockBox release (2.0). Here are our "What's New" guidelines:

Below are the major areas we concentrated in this release:

Fixes

  • The location argument to renderData() was not outputting correctly as the location header.
  • Fix for enclosures in our RSS2 generator
  • deleteByQuery() in our ORM services had an invalid return type
  • merge() in our ORM services now works
  • Fix to leading slashes in views and layouts when setting them
  • Integration testing now will do event overrides correctly
  • setNextRoute() has been completely removed, use setNextEvent() instead
  • Whitespace management for renderData()

Enhancements

  • Request context can now return to you the actual SES namespace it routed: getCurrentRoutedNamespace()
  • You can remove the context via the request service: removeContext()
  • Integration testing is substantially much faster as it now loads the application on a per entire test basis
  • HTML helper enhancements
  • Controller Decorator: You can now decorate the main application controller by creating your own decorator object

ORM Enhancements

  • ORM service count( [property=*] ) can now have an optional property to do counts on to avoid ambiguous results.
  • Dynamic Finders and Counters
  • Enhanced detached criteria queries and subqueries

Thanks for always supporting us!

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 : BoxSet is Here: BoxLang's New First-Class Set Type

BoxLang 1.14.0 ships something that JVM developers have wanted for a long time: a true first-class Set type baked directly into the language. Not a wrapper you reach for manually, not a createObject( "java", "java.util.HashSet" ) incantation you paste from a Stack Overflow answer years ago. A real BoxSet with literal syntax, operator overloads, a full functional pipeline, change listeners, JSON serialization, and deep Java interop.
