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.

Speaker Featuring - Round 1
Every conference is more than the talks we see on stage it’s also the story of the people who make it possible.
With the first round of Into the Box 2026 sessions and workshops now live, we’re excited to introduce some of the speakers who will be joining us this year. These community members, practitioners, and Ortus team experts bring decades of real-world experience across CFML, BoxLang, JVM modernization, testing, AI, and cloud-native development.
