We are very pleased to announce the new Ortus FuseGuard Module for securing ColdBox applications against malicious attacks.  FuseGuard is a web application firewall written by the smart people at Foundeo.  What we've done is wrapped up the functionality of the firewall into a portable ColdBox module and added additional hooks to let you easily tie it into your application.  

Ortus FuseGuard Module

Installation is easy: just drop the module into the "modules" folder and reinit your application.  You can configure the firewall easily and the web-based manager can be deployed alongside the firewall, or in another private application on the same server.  This module also works for ContentBox apps and we have some slick features coming including tying the web manager into your ContentBox authentication for single sign-on.

The Ortus FuseGuard module is available now on our Ortus store.  It comes with the newly released FuseGuard 2.4 engine baked in, so there's no additional licenses for you to get.  Please read about it here on our product page.

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.
