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

ColdFusion Modernization for UK Universities Without Downtime

Across the United Kingdom, many universities still rely on legacy ColdFusion and CFML systems to power student portals, enrollment platforms, research databases, payment gateways, and internal academic workflows.

These systems are often:
