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!

CFML developers have always had a bit of a rebellious streak.

That's part of what makes CFML great. It gives you enormous freedom to build applications quickly and structure them almost any way you want.

So yes, you can build a successful ColdFusion application without a framework. Many developers have, and some of those applications have been running for decades.

But trust us on this one:

Use a framework.

And if you're building or maintaini...

BoxLang AI 3.4.0: Gateways, Human-in-the-Loop, and a Full Security Stack

BoxLang AI 3.4.0 is one of the biggest releases in the module's history, and it is built around a single theme: trust. Every agent you ship eventually needs a human to step in, and every agent that reads untrusted content is a target for prompt injection. This release gives you both a proper answer.
