We are very excited today to formally announce the availability of ColdBox Elixir, coldbox/elixir. ColdBox Elixir provides a clean, fluent API for defining basic Gulp tasks for your ColdBox applications.
This project was forked from the Laravel Elixir project, so many many thanks for all their hard work and ideas.
Overview
We wanted to provide ColdBox developers and easy way to approach an asset pipeline and task executor. The elixir project accomplished this and we have extended it to match the conventions used in ColdBox but also took it a step further to make it compatible with TestBox and CommandBox. This way you can have a full task runner available to you than can integrate with CommandBox recipes, package management, command execution and also TestBox executions.
We are so excited to bring about the release of ContentBox 3.0.0 Release Candidate to you today. It has been a monumentus milestone for us at Ortus Solutions as we have devoted almost a full year's worth of development, which has been unusual for our releases, but so worth it for ContentBox ColdFusion CMS.
This release candidate is a major release and with a completely rewritten administration module and with a collection of more than 150 tickets resolved. It has been a massive undertaking with some great results. We also are in the documentation process and our book is available as well now: contentbox.ortusbooks.com

Team TestBox is proud to bring our latest release to the masses, v2.3.0. This release includes a collection of fixes but also several new cool features thanks to Mr Eric Peterson and our Slack community. It has been incredible to get so much community support in this project and so many pull requests and even to our documentation. So thank you so much for supporting and believing in us. This release is for you!
All the docs have been updated in our documentation book and check out the what's new page for an in-depth overview of this release.
At Ortus, we try to make the installation of our tools as simple as possible, while supporting a variety of platforms. For OS X users, staying up-to-date with your CommandBox installations just got a bit easier.
CommandBox is now an official formula for Homebrew, the package manager for Mac users!
We are super excited to release CommandBox 3.0.0, our newest version of the CFML CLI, REPL, package manager, embedded server, and your source of awesome ASCII art. This is a major release of the platform that contains many new features and improvements totaling over 50 tickets! The final version is available for public consumption and we recommend all CommandBox users upgrade.
Get It
As usual, the only step required to upgrade is to replace your 'box' binary and the next time CommandBox runs, it will complete the install. If you used yum, apt-get or brew to install, just request the newest version. All the binaries are also available on our download page.
If you're new to CommandBox, no worries. Just check out our installation page where we have detailed instructions for each operating system to get you up and running in about 60 seconds.
Once you've installed the latest 3.0.0 build, let's look around at some of the new stuff:
Config Settings - Customize and configure CommandBox just for you
Modules - The 'Box is now modular and can be extended like never before
Interceptors - Hook into the internals of the CLI and build upon it
Standardized Command Packaging - Custom commands can now be packaged up as modules
Server.json - Default every aspect of the embedded server for packaging and convenience
Shortcut for Native OS Binaries - Mucho improved native shell executions from inside CommandBox
Shortcut for CFML Functions via REPL - A new sweet way to run CFML functions right from the commandline
Expressions in Command Parameters - Express yourself with new syntaxes for calling commands with dynamic inputs
Command DSL - New features to help devs writing custom commands
There is a full write up on each of these features including examples and links to the docs here in our beta release post. Please read through it if you want to dig in deeper to the new stuff.
We've been hard at work developing some cool new features for CFML's CLI, Package Manager, REPL, and Embedded Server, CommandBox. Since there are so many major features, we're targeting this as a major release of the product, so welcome version 3.0.0s. We want you to kick the tires and try out the newest features before our final release. Please put in tickets for any issues you run across, or post to our mailing list.
Installation
First things first. To install the latest 3.0.0 beta version of CommandBox, download the appropriate binary for your OS here:
The first time you run box, it will install and replace any previous installation. If you want to go back to the previous version later, you'll need to remove the .CommandBox folder in your user home first.
Documentation
The GitBook-based docs have had major updates made to them. Prior to the final release of CommandBox 3.0.0, you can preview the bleeding edge of our docs here:
Team TestBox is proud to bring our latest release to fruition, v2.2.0. This release includes a collection of fixes but also several new cool features like gherkins-like syntax support, spec data binding, test listeners and much more. We invite you to read our updated documentation book and the what's new page for an in-depth overview of the release.
We are excited to be part of CFCamp 2015 this year. This is truly an awesome conference with over 26 different sessions, amazing speakers and of course it is hosted in one of my favorite cities in the world,
After almost a year in development, we are so excited to finally announce the release of CommandBox 1.0.0 Final. This has been definitely one of the most challenging and fun projects we have overtaken here at Ortus. We had a vision of how we could accelerate not only development, tools and ultimately the ColdFusion (CFML) landscape by building a tool that could put us up to par with many other technologies. I am glad to say we have now a great foundation to move forward. CommandBox brings CFML to any Operating System and even embedded systems like the Raspberry and Banana Pi. It also gives ColdFusion (CFML) developers a much better workflow to work with their projects and a sense of community we lovingly call ForgeBox.
With anything we do here at Ortus, it is fully documented using our new book formats. So head on over to commandbox.ortusbooks.com to download or read the entire CommandBox documentation. In the next coming weeks we will begin our CommandBox 5 week roadshow that will include weekly blogging tutorials and video presentations, so stay tuned as each week progresses. So without further ado, I present to you project Gideon: CommandBox CLI!
