After two days of non-stop sessions, it is safe to say that Into the Box 2020 proved to be a one-of-a-kind virtual experience. It is important to note that it wouldn’t have been possible without the trust and support of our speakers, sponsors and 100+ attendees. We were all witnesses to the power of the CFML community and we couldn’t be more thankful for allowing us to engage with you all.

As you may have noticed, we have many things cooking at Ortus. We wanted to highlight what is coming soon and what we have been working on so that you can keep track and be in the lookout for the releases. 

First up, we have CFCasts (alpha version is live!), a video portal where you’ll be able to access training and learning content on relevant topics around modern web development, this includes our free monthly webinars as well as our Into the Box recordings. 

Next, since so many of you asked for them, we are excited to announce that we’ll be offering our BOX Workshops in virtual format.

ColdBox 6 is also making its debut. It has 5 major features: cbFutures, task executors, RestHandler, SingletonRenderer, and a new developer debugging experience - Whoops!

ForgeBox Business will be released this summer. These accounts are directed towards organizations and teams so they can collaborate and support their software building needs. It includes all the features of PRO plus the following features:

cbSwagger v2.1.0 (Coming Soon) - cbSwagger uses component annotations in your API handlers to provide rich documentation. It updates to OpenAPI v3 and uses convention routes for samples and response body schema assist in auto-generating documentation and samples. Lastly, it enhances support for granular, route-based security. 

cbCommerce (Coming Soon) - It is built with Enterprise e-Commerce in mind and it uses ContentBox modularity to allow non-technical users to manage inventory and pricing. Additionally, it has built-in support for shipping, sales tax/VAT, event and inventory lifecycle pricing and multiple payment processor support.

🚀 ColdBox CLI 8.11: The Era of AI Skills Comes to Every ColdBox & BoxLang App

ColdBox CLI 8.11 is here, and it's one of the most significant releases we've shipped for AI-assisted development. This release wires the CLI directly into our brand new public skills directory at skills.boxlang.io, brings our AI tooling in line with industry-wide agent conventions, and introduces a wave of quality-of-life improvements that make AI integration feel less like setup and more like infrastructure.

🛰️ Introducing cbMCP — Your ColdBox App, Live to Every AI Agent

Today we're releasing cbMCP, the official ColdBox MCP Server — a BoxLang-only module that turns your running ColdBox application into a fully-compliant Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Plug in any MCP-capable AI client — Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode — and your AI assistant gets live, read-only introspection across the entire ColdBox platform: routing, handlers, modules, WireBox, CacheBox, LogBox, schedulers, interceptors, and async executors. 🎯
