1000 Pulls and Counting...

Ortus Solutions maintains a growing number of open source projects that are available to the community for collaboration. This includes everything from MVC to CLI tools, CMS, modules, and the documentation itself. We host all our projects on GitHub and encourage the community to contribute in big and small ways.

We are extremely proud of the CFML Community this week as we have rolled over a giant milestone by closing our 1000th pull request to our open source repositories. This is a combined number spanning all of our 127 open source repositories including:

Thank You!

This represents many hours of work by the CFML community and we are so proud to be a part. A huge thanks to everyone who has contributed to one of our products no matter how big or small. The Box suite of libraries is demonstrably the most active in the CF space and we're looking ahead to a great future of community collaboration. If you're interested in becoming a part of this effort, we'd love to have you on board. You can read up on how to submit a pull request to one of our projects here.

Today we’re celebrating one of the most exciting new additions to the BoxLang ecosystem:

the TestBox BoxLang CLI Runner — a fast, native way to run your TestBox tests directly through the BoxLang Runtime. ⚡

No server required. No CommandBox needed. Just pure, ultra-fast BoxLang-powered testing from the command lineon Windows, Mac, and Linux.

If you’re building modern applications with BoxLang — web apps, CLIs, serverless functions, Android apps, or OS-level utilities — this new feature gives you a unified, flexible testing workflow you can run anywhere.

12 days of BoxLang - Day 3: SocketBox!

As BoxLang continues evolving into a modern, high-performance, JVM-based runtime, real-time communication becomes essential for the applications we all want to build: dashboards, collaboration tools, notifications, live feeds, multiplayer features, and more.

That’s where SocketBox steps in — the WebSocket upgrade listener built to work seamlessly with CommandBox and the BoxLang MiniServer. ⚡

Today, for Day 3, we’re highlighting how SocketBox supercharges BoxLang development by giving you fast, flexible, and framework-agnostic WebSocket capabilities.
