Today we are announcing the release of CommandBox 5.2.1. This is a patch release for 5.2.0 that fixes a few small regressions and adds a few features.
Notable Changes
There is now a new "forgebox logout" command you can use for testing or just to remove your API token from the local CLI.
# Logout one user forgebox logout username # logout all users forgebox logout
You can change CommandBox's default tab completion to be an inline list that follows your cursor. This setting requires you to close and re-open the shell to take affect.
config set tabCompleteInline=true

We've added better debugging information for Server Profiles. If you add the --verbose flag to your server start, you'll be able to see what profile was detected for your server, and what baked-in rules have been turned on as a result.
|------------------------------ | √ | Setting Server Profile to [development] | |------------------------------------------------------ | | Profile set from "environment" env var | | Block CF Admin disabled | | Block Sensitive Paths enabled | | Block Flash Remoting enabled | | Directory Browsing enabled | |------------------------------------------------------
We've added a new Single Server Mode you can enable in the CLI to make using CommandBox in Docker images easier.

Hi Brad,
Are there any plans to do this type of image for Azure?
I was led to believe if running a lot of Windows VMs Azure is a better choice especially with monthly fee of the Windows Server at Amazon versus Microsoft.
I finally have management looking very seriously to using Lucee and the question that comes up is why use CommandBox to run Lucee versus installing Lucee directly on a Server 2019 VM.
I was under the impression that Command box is much easier to pick up the whole environment and drop it on another server.
I also thought that CommandBox was great at managing the updates and along with the service piece can be used for Production as well. Production is why we have been looking at it.
That said what is the advantage of installing CommandBox for a Lucee production server in Windows Server 2019 versus installing Lucee directly on the VM.
Recently the dev started looking at the server we had setup for a Commandbox and he said his code broke because Lucee was updated. I had thought I locked the configs to a specific Lucee version. When I looked at the config Lucee was locked but at a major version. The upgrade was .92 to .95 I believe. Lucee 5.3.5 and I assume the minor version update was possible.
But break code and lose all his DSNs sure seems odd to me.
