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

Building Native CLI Apps with MatchBox & Native Fusion

MatchBox makes BoxLang practical for a classic deployment target: the single-file command-line application.

The MatchBox open beta is available at https://github.com/ortus-boxlang/matchbox.

With the MatchBox native target, you can compile a .bxs script into a standalone executable for macOS, Linux, or Windows. The generated binary includes the MatchBox VM core and your compiled BoxLang bytecode. It does not require a JVM, a separate MatchBox install, or any runtime on the target machine.
