We are so excited to have launched our first intiative to glue together all of our documentation for all of our Ortus products: www.ortusbooks.com. In this new site, you will find the ability to search for the documentation or API docs that you need. One resource, one location, one way to reach any of our docs!

Discover how BoxLang’s multi-runtime architecture helps developers build beyond the server with support for serverless functions, desktop applications, CI/CD workflows, Java integrations, containers, runtime management, and more.
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.
BoxLang 1.14.0 ships something that JVM developers have wanted for a long time: a true first-class Set type baked directly into the language. Not a wrapper you reach for manually, not a createObject( "java", "java.util.HashSet" ) incantation you paste from a Stack Overflow answer years ago. A real BoxSet with literal syntax, operator overloads, a full functional pipeline, change listeners, JSON serialization, and deep Java interop.

One thing that has been a problem for me in the past was finding OLD versions of the documentation. Stuck on Coldbox 3.6? Where's those docs! Now, I can google and get the docs for it.
Try to make version-based docs part of your ongoing documentation life!

HI Will,
The new gitbooks allows for you to switch versions and see the docs of those versions. Unfortunately, our move to gitbook happened on 4, so we only have version 4 and 5 in gitbook. Version 3 and below where all on the wiki and that was deprecated a long time ago. However, you have a point that old documentation should still be available in some capacity. We will brainstorm about it.
On the other hand, stop using such an old version of ColdBox, its not supported since 2016
