Introducing TestBox v6.0.0
TestBox 6.x is a major update to the testing framework, introducing key improvements like full support for BoxLang. With this release, users can write tests, specs, and harnesses directly in BoxLang.

Additionally, the CLI now detects BoxLang projects, adds headless web server testing with the bx-web-support module, and includes dynamic assertion methods for cleaner test writing. Significant new features include environment helpers, display name annotations, and improved debugging and matcher functions.
