As part of the core cleanup for ColdBox 4.0, the internationalization aspects (i18n) have been moved out into their own module. Up until ColdBox 4.0,  i18n was a plugin, like messageBox, and Logger, and Validator. All of these plugins have been reworked into ColdBox 4.0 modules and are available on ForgeBox.

Without i18n being in the core, your smaller, focused applications that don't leverage i18n's features won't have i18n weighing down your server.

But, for the i18n users and internationalization enthusiasts, your i18n module is as easy as typing...

box install cbi18n

...into CommandBox.

All of the features That were available in the plugin are also in the module. We just modularized it.

For more info on the i18n module's features: http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/I18n.cfm (it's the wiki for the plugin, but the functionality is the same).

From Legacy Risk to Modern Agility: A Phased Modernization Roadmap for CFML Teams

From Legacy Risk to Modern Agility: A Phased Modernization Roadmap for CFML Teams

Many organizations running CFML applications today face the same challenge.

Their systems still work.

They support core business processes.

They generate revenue.

But at the same time, those platforms are increasingly exposed to risk.

Unsupported runtimes, operational fragility, security exposure, and difficulty integrating with modern systems are becoming more common in environments still running older versions of Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee.

The quest...

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring

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.
