We've just released a minor release of CommandBox, our CLI, REPL, Package Manager, and Embedded server. This version has a number of small fixes to CommandBox as well as the embedded libraries like Runwar. We've polished up some things like piping content and new high-res icons. There are also some fancy new features like specifying a max heap size for your embedded server:

CommandBox> start heapSize=768

And finally, the ability to install packages from a Git repo is here!

install git://github.com/username/repoName.git

And this nice shortcut for installing from GitHub:

install username/repoName
