v3.0.0 released!

See Editions

We are very excited to bring you another release for our Redis Lucee Extension. This release:

Updates the underlying Redis java driver from v2.9.3 to v4.4.3
Added SSL and username support to RedisClusterCache configuration
Added username support to RedisCache ( non-cluster ) configuration

These enancements have been made to ensure full compatibility with both standalone Redis implementations, as well as AWS Elasticache configurations and authentication mechanisms.

Example CFConfig for both single-node and cluster caches:

"caches" : {
    "redisnode" : {
			 "class":"ortus.extension.cache.redis.RedisCache",
			"custom":{
				"cacheKeyCaseSensitivity":"false",
				"username" : "myNodeUser",
				"password":"my53cur3Pa55!",
				"timeout":"2000",
				"useSSL":"true",
				"host":"redis.singlenode",
				"keyprefix":"lucee-redis-node",
				"port":"6379",
				"database" : "0",
				"idleConnections":"5",
				"timeout" : 20000,
				"readTimeout" : 20000,
				"maxAttempts" : 5,
				"maxConnections" : 50
        },
        "readOnly":"false",
        "storage":"true"
    }
    "rediscluster":{
        "class":"ortus.extension.cache.redis.RedisClusterCache",
        "custom":{
            "hosts":"redis1.mycluster,redis2.mycluster,redis3.mycluster",
            "keyprefix":"lucee-cluster",
            "port":"6379",
			"useSSL" : true,
			"username" : "myUser",
            "password" : "my53cur3Pa55!",
            "timeout" : 20000,
            "readTimeout" : 20000,
            "maxAttempts" : 5,

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 3 : Batched Approvals

Here's a bug that's easy to miss until it bites someone in production: an agent turn asks for two tool calls at once, both need human approval, and only the first one actually suspends. The second one gets silently skipped. Not rejected, not queued, just gone. That's what happened before 3.4.0, and it's fixed now with batched tool-call approvals.

Getting Started with BoxLang as an Alternative CFML Engine

If you have an existing ColdFusion or Lucee application, one of the first questions you may have about BoxLang is probably not:

“Should I rewrite my application in BoxLang?”

It is much simpler:

“Can BoxLang run the CFML application I already have?”

That was the focus of veteran CFML troubleshooter Charlie Arehart’s session at Into the Box 2026, Getting Started with BoxLang as an Alternative CFML Engine.
