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

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.

These systems manage a wide range of functions, including:

  • internal banking workflows
