We are excited to announce a major version release of [TestBox](/products/testbox) version 4.0.0. To install just use CommandBox: `install testbox --saveDev` or to update your TestBox installation `update testbox`. So let's explore this release!

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.  

And of course, you can find the latest docs  and release notes here:

Our friends at TeraTech help put together a comprehensive survey of the entire CFML community to get a feel for how it's evolving, what new technologies are getting picked up, and what the current pain points are.  We use this data at Ortus to help us decide what CF engines to support and how to help the community.

Here's an example question from the survey that tracks the most popular versions of Adobe ColdFu...

This week we debuted our first-ever Object-Oriented Programming Series in our CFML learning platform, CFCasts.

We are pleased to announce the general availability of our latest CommandBox CLI release. This is a minor release that's full of bug fixes and enhancements.  It should be backwards compatible (with one caveat below) and you can upgrade any previous version of CommandBox in-place to the latest release.

 

Today we released ColdBox v6.4.0 but it feels more like a major release than a minor one. We are introducing tons of new features in this release, especially our anticipated: ColdBox Scheduled Tasks feature set.

You can find our what's new document here: https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/intro/release-history/whats-new-with-6.4.0. So let's explore some of the major features of this release and then on to our release notes.

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!

Hi everyone, great news! Ortus is rolling out our new Ortus Community site to help consolidate all of our community support and interaction. As part of that effort, all our Google Group threads have been imported to the new Ortus Community and effective immediately, our Google Groups are closed for further posting.

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. This release is a huuuge advancement for building localized applications and websites and partly thanks to Mr Wil de Bruin (shiftinsert.nl). This release introduces the ability to use json resource bundles, multiple bundles per module, cbStorages for tracking locales, property inheritance and so much more! There are a few compatiblity issues, so make sure you read them to upgrade to version 2.x if not you can easily update using CommandBox

install cbi18n
update cbi18n
