On the spirit of non-stop releases, here is LogBox version 1.2.  Apart from some bug fixes we have squeezed in some great new functionality, especially when dealing with configuring LogBox and portability. Check out our milestone tickets for further review. Version 1.2 Tickets
  • Added some new methods to the LogBoxConfig object: resetAppenders(), resetCategories and resetRoot() to reset some configurations.
  • Fixes on appender declarations and layouts
  • Addition of the LogBox DSL to coldbox configuration file, so now you can configure logbox via a cool DSL
  • Ability to configure LogBox via a simple CFC with a simple configure() method and our cool DSL
The major portion of this release is three words "Portabiity in Style".  We wanted to add a new way to configure LogBox in ColdBox style, a cool data definition DSL. Of course, our documentation is updated and now online: http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/LogBox.cfm#LogBox_DSL. Here is a little tast of the DSL: function configure(){ logBox = { // Appenders appenders = { appenderName = { class="class.to.appender", layout="class.to.layout", properties={ name = value, prop2 = value 2 } }, // Root Logger root = {levelMin="FATAL", levelMax="DEBUG", appenders="*"}, // Granualr Categories categories = { "coldbox.system" = { levelMin="FATAL", levelMax="INFO", appenders="*"}, "model.security" = { levelMax="DEBUG", appenders="console,twitter"} } // Implicit categories debug = ["coldbox.system.interceptors"], info = ["model.class", "model2.class2"], warn = ["model.class", "model2.class2"], error = ["model.class", "model2.class2"], fatal = ["model.class", "model2.class2"], off = ["model.class", "model2.class2"] }; }

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.
