Our now famous LogBox: Enterprise Logging Library reaches another step in maturity to version 1.3.  This release includes the following:

Version 1.3

http://coldbox.assembla.com/spaces/coldbox/milestones/187467-logbox-1-3

  • Varscoping issue for DBAppender
  • Varscoping issue for Logger object
  • fix for category inheritance issues on locateCategoryParentLogger thanks to Sean Corfield
  • fixes when declaring appenders and * appenders on XML declarations
  • Add the ability to configure levels of logging on Appenders as a last line of granularity (some nice candy)
Apart from several fixes we managed to squeeze a nice little gem, appender logging affinity. What this gem feature enables you to do is basically also designate a logging severity window for the appenders.  This provides great flexibilty when you want only certain appenders to listen to certain severities.  So all you do now is add a levelMin and levelMax to the appender declarations, whether you are using the LogBox programmatic DSL or the XML.  Of course, all the features and fixes have been documented.  Also, please note that LogBox is embedded in ColdBox 3.0.0 also or can be used via its standalone framework download.

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.
