There are a lot of people out there in the CFML world managing legacy codebases. Some of them use frameworks that are no longer maintained, and many use no framework at all.

ColdBox will comfortably live alongside your legacy code, giving you the chance to slowly convert it over as you get the chance.

CommandBox 1.1.1 Patch Release
We've released a very small patch release (1.1.1) for CommandBox. This is to address a small bug in the upgrade process from 1.0.0. This update affects the underlying loader libraries so you will need to download the latest binary and replace the old binary on your file system. The first time you run "box" the update will be applied.
The downloads ar...
