In our last post, we walked through configuring email settings in ColdBox using cbMailServices. Now it’s time for the fun part—sending emails! ColdBox’s mail services are powerful, and with just a few lines of code, you can build emails with token replacements, send them using various protocols, and log them when needed.

We're excited to announce the release of bx-ldap, a comprehensive LDAP module that brings enterprise-grade directory access to BoxLang! This module goes above and beyond traditional CFML LDAP implementations, offering modern features like connection pooling, event-driven programming, multiple return formats, and a clean, intuitive API.

In the world of modern web applications, data is king—but raw numbers rarely tell the full story. 📈 That's where visualization becomes crucial, transforming complex datasets into intuitive, compelling narratives. Today, we're thrilled to introduce BX-Charts, a game-changing charting module that brings professional-grade data visualization directly into the BoxLang ecosystem.
