Just a quick note that we will be showcasing ContentBox, our modular content platform for ColdFusion, at the Houston User Group next week.  So if you will be close by, please drop by as we will have a hands on workshop on how to install ContentBox and get it up and running.

For those of you who do not know what ContentBox is, here is a little insight.  ContentBox is our next major project here at Ortus Solutions, which is a highly modular content platform based on ColdBox architecture and modules.  It is a set of ColdBox modules that work in unison to provide you with blog, cms and development capabilities.  It is still in private alpha, but you can be part of it if you like by just requesting it: contentbox@ortussolutions.com.  The major difference than traditional blogs or cms, is that ContentBox is highly extensible via ColdBox features and event driven programming.  You can easily extend it and create other modules that function outside of ContentBox with their own DI, caching, SES, or extend the content as well. 

Hopefully, we will have an open beta soon!

CommandBox: A Smarter Foundation for BoxLang and CFML Workflows

CommandBox: A Smarter Foundation for BoxLang and CFML Workflows

In day-to-day development, some tools simply do their job… and others quietly change the way you work. CommandBox falls into the second category.

It doesn’t replace your editor, framework, or existing applications. Instead, it becomes the common ground where CFML and BoxLang development meet ,giving teams a consistent, reliable way to build, run, and evolve their projects.

DocBox v5 - Reborn: Modern API Docs for BoxLang & CFML

DocBox v5 - Reborn: Modern API Docs for BoxLang & CFML

Welcome to DocBox v5! We didn't just update DocBox. We rebuilt it from the ground up.

DocBox v5.0.0 represents a complete architectural rewrite—modern syntax, blazing performance, and a stunning new look that finally brings API documentation into 2025. Gone are the clunky HTML pages of yesteryear. Say hello to a gorgeous, theme-driven single-page application that makes browsing your API docs feel like using a premium developer tool. We have also released a dedicated module for BoxLang: BX-DOCBOX. A fully interactive CLI tool for generating your docs from the command line using pure BoxLang.
