I had a unique use-case the other day, and I wanted to share the solution with you all.

I use [a custom `Collection` component](https://github.com/elpete/CFCollection) to handle many higher-order functions like map, reduce, filter, etc. Basically, it wraps an array or a query and lets you continue chaining these functions, kind of like [wrapping a value with lodash in Javascript](https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.4#lodash).

ColdBox modules have revolutionized the way that CFML developers can reuse and organize code.  Modules follow an HMVC, or Hierarchical MVC pattern that allows you to not only break apart your CFML app into smaller chunks, but to stack those pieces into a hierarchy that really makes sense of your code.  We also call this module inceptions-- the act of nesting modules inside of each other.  

So with that in mind, a question came across the ColdBox Google group today asking about how to access events from within nested modules and how that manifests itself in the URL.  Before I responded, I spun up a quick site in CommandBox to test and I found to my dismay that the answer was very difficult to find in our docs.  As such, I figured a quick blog post was in order since it's fairly easy to set up if you know what to do.

ContentBox 3.1.0 is a minor release with over 40 issues, improvements and new features addressed. Below you will find the detailed release notes about this release but also the major areas of improvement and new features introduced. Enjoy!

We are pleased to announce the final release of CommandBox 3.5.0!  This is a minor release, with 53 completed tickets-- most of which are server enhancements focused on making server management and configuration easy across any engine.  This version has been in release candidate for a few weeks and has received a lot of testing.  As a minor release, there are no compatibility-breaking changes to any of the public APIs, but there has been some necessary restructuring of the back end bits related to starting servers that could possibly have an effect on you if you have any scripts or custom modules based on the previous folder structure of some server installs.  We recommend all users upgrade to this new version, but take a minute to review the changes so you can fully utilize the new features.

We've been hard at work on the latest version of CommandBox which brings bug fixes, improvements, and new options for deploying and starting servers.  We think it's ready for the general public to give it a good testing before we release it so today we're announcing the CommandBox 3.5.0-rc (release candidate) for you to give a spin.  This should be a painless switch so we encourage you to take a look and provide us with feedback.  We are also pleased t have several features and fixes in this release that were provided by community members as part of our first 1000 open source pulls.

Christmas baking has probably began in your house, filling the air with the sweet aroma of sugar, carbs, cholesterol, and partially hydrogenated oil.  Mmm, just like Grandma used to make!  What better time to cook up a new development environment that runs on CommandBox!  

URL rewriting is common on many server setups and while everyone does the same basic things, the config files they use vary greatly based on the web server they have in play.  CommandBox allows for URL rewriting, but a common question I get is how to convert the rewrites people already have on their existing web servers so CommandBox can use them.
