Our amazing LogBox: Enterprise Logging Library reaches another step in maturity to version 1.4. This release has some great additions but also some needed fixes. We have now also added the ability to download and view the CFC API Docs online thanks to Mark Mandel's ColdDoc, thanks Mark! ColdDoc is now part of the build processes of ColdBox and auxiliary frameworks.

You can now download the LogBox version that contains the docs and both versions of LogBox: standalone and coldbox enabled. Of course, all our docs are now updated also.

This release includes the following:

Appender Affinity
You can now define a last line of defense at the appender level. Each appender can define their own logging levels if needed.

LogBox Schema
If you like XML (we won't hold it against you), you can now use our nifty schema to get tag insight and validation. The schema can be located in "logbox/system/config/LogBoxConfig.xsd" or can be found online on a per version basis:

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.
