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

Your Development Team Is at Capacity. Here’s How to Keep Critical Work Moving!

The problem is not that your team lacks priorities.It is that maintenance, delivery, and long-term improvement are competing for the same people.

For companies running business-critical CFML, ColdFusion, or BoxLang applications, that pressure can be especially difficult to solve. Experienced developers are not always easy to hire quickly, application knowledge may be concentrated in one or two people, and a generalist may need significant context before taking ownership of the work. A permanent hire can also require a significant investment in recruiting, compensation, onboarding, and long-term capacity even when the immediate need is a specific project, urgent maintenance, or a period of transition.

Copy of BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 5 : Reasoning Without the Guesswork

Reasoning-capable models have been usable in BoxLang AI for a while. params passes straight through to the provider body, so params: { thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 } } for Claude, or params: { reasoning_effort: "high" } for OpenAI, already reached the API. What never worked was reading the reasoning back. It was parsed out on arrival and silently dropped. In 3.4.0, that's fixed, and it's fixed the same way for every provider.
