We have pushed a patch release of CommandBox 5.1.1 which is a small addition to the recent 5.1.0 release.  This release was primarily to address a regression in 5.1.0 affecting Mac OS users who tried to start Lucee servers.  If you see an error similar to this on a Lucee server and you're running a Mac and CommandBox 5.1.0, then this release will fix it for you.

lucee.runtime.exp.NativeException: mac os x is not a supported OS platform.

If you are upgrading from CommandBox 5.1.0, there are only a handful of tickets which are listed below.  If you are updating from an earlier version of CommandBox, please check out our 5.0.0 and 5.1.0 release blogs.

Hi Brad, many thanks for this update. I'm a Commandbox newbie. Just need to report that after doing a Brew Update Commandbox on OS X Catalina the runwar4.1.1.jar did not get updated. My fix was to stop the server, delete runwar4.1 from .Commandbox/lib and manually replace it with runwar4.1.1.jar. Cheers, Matt

Hi Matt, what version of CommandBox did Brew install when you updated? The pull request to add this version to Brew was just merged in a couple hours ago so it's possible you tested prior to then or that your local Homebrew installation hasn't pulled the new formulas. The current version of Runwar in CommandBox 5.1.1 should be Runwar 4.1.2.

Building Native CLI Apps with MatchBox & Native Fusion

MatchBox makes BoxLang practical for a classic deployment target: the single-file command-line application.

The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox.

With the MatchBox native target, you can compile a .bxs script into a standalone executable for macOS, Linux, or Windows. The generated binary includes the MatchBox VM core and your compiled BoxLang bytecode. It does not require a JVM, a separate MatchBox install, or any runtime on the target machine.
