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!

ColdBox CLI 8.11 is here, and it's one of the most significant releases we've shipped for AI-assisted development. This release wires the CLI directly into our brand new public skills directory at skills.boxlang.io, brings our AI tooling in line with industry-wide agent conventions, and introduces a wave of quality-of-life improvements that make AI integration feel less like setup and more like infrastructure.
Today we're launching something we've been quietly building for months: skills.boxlang.io — a public, agent-agnostic directory for AI skills covering BoxLang, ColdBox, TestBox, CommandBox, and the entire Ortus ecosystem.
Today we're releasing cbMCP, the official ColdBox MCP Server — a BoxLang-only module that turns your running ColdBox application into a fully-compliant Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Plug in any MCP-capable AI client — Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode — and your AI assistant gets live, read-only introspection across the entire ColdBox platform: routing, handlers, modules, WireBox, CacheBox, LogBox, schedulers, interceptors, and async executors. 🎯

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
