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

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

If you're upgrading from a 4.x version of CommandBox, please review our CommandBox 5.0.0 release announcement for links to docs and downloads.

Many organizations running CFML applications today face the same challenge.

Their systems still work.

They support core business processes.

They generate revenue.

But at the same time, those platforms are increasingly exposed to risk.

Unsupported runtimes, operational fragility, security exposure, and difficulty integrating with modern systems are becoming more common in environments still running older versions of Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee.

The quest...

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring

Spring Boot developers know the pain of evaluating view technologies. Thymeleaf is great — until you need more expressiveness. FreeMarker is powerful — until the syntax fights you. What if you could write templates in a dynamic JVM language that gives you the full power of the platform, feels natural, and requires zero setup to integrate?

Meet the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter.
