What's New With 5.1.2

This is a patch release for ColdBox

Bugs/Regressions

• [COLDBOX-711] - HTML helper cannot add fontawesome icons in button due to XSS enabled by default
• [COLDBOX-712] - ColdBox shutdown code that uses CF mappings for modules fails on fwreinit
• [COLDBOX-713] - addAsset throw error when called from handlers

Improvements

The HTML Helper has been migrated to an internal module in this release. It allows you to configure it via the following configuration settings in your ColdBox.cfc.

moduleSettings = {
    htmlHelper = {
        // Base path for loading JavaScript files
        js_path = "",
        // Base path for loading CSS files
        css_path = "",
        // Auto-XSS encode values when using the HTML Helper output methods
        encodeValues = false
    }
}

Injection Shortcut

You can also now inject the HTML helper anywhere using it's injection DSL Shortcut of @HTMLHelper

Close on the heels of our big CommandBox 4.0.0 release, we have a small update we've released today: 4.1.0.  This release is mostly to fix a couple small bugs in the 4.0.0 release, but it does have a few new features in it, so we've bumped a full minor version instead of just a patch release.
