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"] }; }

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.
