Happy New Year! The BoxLang team is excited to announce BoxLang 1.9.0, a significant stability and compatibility release focused on production-readiness thanks to our client migrations and new application deployments. This release also introduces array-based form field parsing conventions, enhanced datasource lifecycle management, improved context handling, and resolves over 50 critical bugs to ensure enterprise-grade reliability for mission-critical applications.

Welcome to DocBox v5! We didn't just update DocBox. We rebuilt it from the ground up.

DocBox v5.0.0 represents a complete architectural rewrite—modern syntax, blazing performance, and a stunning new look that finally brings API documentation into 2025. Gone are the clunky HTML pages of yesteryear. Say hello to a gorgeous, theme-driven single-page application that makes browsing your API docs feel like using a premium developer tool. We have also released a dedicated module for BoxLang: BX-DOCBOX. A fully interactive CLI tool for generating your docs from the command line using pure BoxLang.

Taking BoxLang to AWS Lambda opens the door to modern, serverless architectures without sacrificing structure or familiarity.

We are pleased to announce the general availability of CommandBox 6.3.0.  This minor release has a handful of bug fixes and some new features.  You can check out the latest documentation here:

As we close out our 12 Days of BoxLang Christmas, we’re ending with something truly special — something built for early adopters, innovators, and teams who want to modernize confidently as we move into 2026.

Today, we’re excited to officially announce the BoxLang Pioneer Program.

This program is your opportunity to work closely with the BoxLang team, influence the roadmap, test new capabilities early, and prepare your applications for the next generation of JVM development.

As we head toward 2026, modern platforms still need to speak the language of the enterprise.

And in many organizations, that language is still SOAP.

With BoxLang 1.8.0, SOAP web services are no longer something you “tolerate” — they’re something you can work with fluently, safely, and cleanly.

Today, we’re exploring BoxLang’s native SOAP client, designed to make consuming SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 services feel natural, modern, and predictable.

Today, for Day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas, we’re exploring the entire collection of official BoxLang runtimes and how to get started with them. ⭐️
