logoWe are proud to announce ColdBox Platform release version 3.6.0 and ColdBox DevBox 2.3. This is an important minor release that addresses many important issues, but also introduces some great enhancements. There are no compatibility updates needed and here are our "What's New" guideline:

The major push to concurrency in our ColdBox 4.0 roadmap has been sponsored by the great people at Guardly, who leverages the ColdBox Platform for their enterprise suite of applications.  In this release we introduce asynchronous event driven programming via Interceptors.
