We are so tremendously happy to finally bring you the final version of: TestBox 1.0.0.  We have been working tremendously hard to get this release out before the holidays, so please enjoy it.  We have also introduced two new ref cards for TestBox, which are available now as well.  For those of you who do not know about TestBox, TestBox is a next generation testing framework for ColdFusion that is based on BDD (Behavior Driven Development) for providing a clean obvious syntax for writing tests. It contains not only a testing framework, runner, assertions and expectations library but also integrates with MockBox for mocking and stubbing. It also supports xUnit style of testing and MXUnit compatibilities.  TestBox can be downloaded from our main downloads page and it has been also integrated into the ColdBox platform as well.  The following are the release notes for this final release:
