We've released a very small patch release to CommandBox 5.0.0 which is 5.0.1 and has only 5 tickets. Most all are related to tweaks for the new server start bash script functionality that we've been rolling into our Ortus CommandBox Docker images.

Release Notes

Here is an overview of what we changed. Note Lucee 5.3.4.80 is the latest stable release of Lucee, however Lucee never made any official announcements for that release. There are further commits on the LUcee 5.3.4 branch taking it up to builds 85, but those are snapshot builds so we're not including them.

Task

[COMMANDBOX-1118] - Upgrade to Lucee 5.3.4.80 in the CLI

Improvement

[COMMANDBOX-1106] - Include system packages in package uninstall autocomplete
[COMMANDBOX-1110] - Don't include --tray-icon and --tray-config in process args when --tray-enable is false
[COMMANDBOX-1112] - Allow a location for the runwar.jar to be specified on server start other than the default
[COMMANDBOX-1119] - Use exec in bash script
