What's New

This release contains 9 tickets-- several bug fixes and a couple nice new features.

Jakarta Servlet support

Adobe CF 2025, Lucee 7, and BoxLang 1.0 are all using the Jakarta servlet spec now.  CommandBox will now detect that and automatically download a Jakarta version of Runwar to start the server on first start.

Server Warmup URLs

CommandBox servers now support one or more warmup URLs which will be automatically fired after the server comes online to ensure it's warmed up, even if there is no external traffic.  You can choose what happens to incoming requests prior to the completion of the warmup (queue, block, or allow) as well  as whether the warmup URLs are fired sync or async.  The warmup URL can also hit any endpoint, acting as a simple webhook to notify that the server has come online if you want.

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.

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Many ColdFusion environments operate in a reactive mode without realizing it.

Everything seems fine… until something breaks.

A server crashes.

Performance drops suddenly.

An integration stops working.

A security audit reveals missing patches.

At that point the response is urgent:

“Can someone help us fix this now?”

Emergency support is sometimes unavoidable. But when reactive intervention becomes the norm, it usually means something deep...
