Just a quick post that the enhanced version of LightWire by Peter Bell that existed in the ColdBox core now has a new home: https://github.com/lmajano/LightWire

This version is an enhanced version that Peter created so you have it available as it will NOT be included with future versions of ColdBox.  So in preparation for 3.0.0 release, if you are using LightWire included with ColdBox you will have to install this version of lightwire in the root or mapping as "lightwire".  That's it, no core changes or app changes needed. Again, this will be for RC2 and 3.0.0 Final release.  Our decision to remove it from the core, is that we now have our own DI engine called WireBox that has spawned throughout the years.

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part 4 : WriteDump Enhanced!

You call writeDump() on an ORM entity or a very rich class graph . The browser locks up. Thirty seconds later you get a page with forty thousand rows on it, you scroll for a while, you give up, and you go edit your code to dump a sub-key instead. Or worse, you crash the server.

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 4 : Locking Down Prompt Injection

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 4 : Locking Down Prompt Injection

LLM applications face a class of attack traditional input validation was never built for: prompt injection. An attacker embeds instructions in user input, a retrieved document, a web page your tool fetched, or an MCP result, trying to override your system prompt, exfiltrate data, or hijack a tool call. BoxLang AI 3.4.0 ships four layered, configurable defenses against exactly this, plus one more that's on unconditionally.
