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.

From Legacy Risk to Modern Agility: A Phased Modernization Roadmap for CFML Teams

From Legacy Risk to Modern Agility: A Phased Modernization Roadmap for CFML Teams

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

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.

Why Swiss Banks Are Modernizing CFML Platforms Without Rewrites

The growing need to evolve legacy financial platforms safely

Many Swiss banks and financial institutions still operate important systems built on ColdFusion and CFML platforms.

These systems manage a wide range of functions, including:

  • internal banking workflows
  • reporting systems
  • client portals
  • data integration platforms
  • compliance and risk management tools
