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!

In day-to-day development, some tools simply do their job… and others quietly change the way you work. CommandBox falls into the second category.
It doesn’t replace your editor, framework, or existing applications. Instead, it becomes the common ground where CFML and BoxLang development meet ,giving teams a consistent, reliable way to build, run, and evolve their projects.
Happy New Year! The BoxLang team is excited to announce BoxLang 1.9.0, a significant stability and compatibility release focused on production-readiness thanks to our client migrations and new application deployments. This release also introduces array-based form field parsing conventions, enhanced datasource lifecycle management, improved context handling, and resolves over 50 critical bugs to ensure enterprise-grade reliability for mission-critical applications.
Welcome to DocBox v5! We didn't just update DocBox. We rebuilt it from the ground up.
DocBox v5.0.0 represents a complete architectural rewrite—modern syntax, blazing performance, and a stunning new look that finally brings API documentation into 2025. Gone are the clunky HTML pages of yesteryear. Say hello to a gorgeous, theme-driven single-page application that makes browsing your API docs feel like using a premium developer tool. We have also released a dedicated module for BoxLang: BX-DOCBOX. A fully interactive CLI tool for generating your docs from the command line using pure BoxLang.

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 "bootstrap 2.3.2" 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
