BoxLang Evolved!

BoxLang is the newest JVM language that can support running not only BoxLang language files but CFML files with our bx-compat-cfml module. In TestBox 6.1.0 you can now leverage TestBox without the need of the CFML compatibility module. Making it native to BoxLang. This is now our last step in the introduction of bx-testbox that will come in the following weeks. This will be a native compiled version of TestBox that will be part of our VSCode extension and Testing Framework for VSCode. Stay tuned!

🔎 Introducing bx-meilisearch: Blazing-Fast Search for BoxLang Applications

Search is one of those features that can make or break an application. Users expect it to be instant, forgiving of typos, and smart about relevance. Building that experience from scratch is a significant investment. That is exactly why we built bx-meilisearch — a BoxLang-native module that puts the full power of Meilisearch at your fingertips with a fluent, chainable DSL that feels right at home in any BoxLang application.
