We've released a small update to our recent CommandBox 5.3.0 release.  This contains fixes for a handful of regressions as well as a couple new features.  You can access the new version on our Download page, our deb/rpm repos, or Homebrew.

We are so excited to bring about a major release for the ColdBox Debugger project: v3.0.0. However, what in the world is the ColdBox Debugger module? I am glad you asked:

What is the ColdBox Debugger?

The ColdBox Debugger module is a lightweight performance monitor and profiling tool for ColdBox applications. It can generate a nice debugging panel on every rendered page or a dedicated visualizer to make your ColdBox application development nicer, funner and greater! Yes, funner is a word!

After many many months of development, testing and waiting, we are finally able to release a major major update to our localization and internationalization library for ColdBox: cbi18n version 2.x.
