Yes, that’s not a typo, we really mean it: FREE forever! ContentBox, our modular content management engine that allows you to easily build websites, blogs, wikis, complex web applications, and RESTFul web services, will always, and we repeat, always be Open Source and FREE. You can use all of its goodies and features when you want them and wherever you want them.

We are so excited to bring you the first public release candidate of the next generation of ColdBox HMVC , version 6.0. Enjoy as we are almost ready for final release.

At Ortus, we pride ourselves in delivering relevant and engaging content. That's why decided to host two workshops this August! You'll have the opportunity to attend the following workshops: 

Quick 4.0.0 was released this past week and brought with it some welcome quality-of-life improvements, a handy new counts feature, improvements to error messages, and a bunch of squashed bugs. Although it is technically a major version change, most users will be able to upgrade with no changes to their code. Let's dive in to see what's new.

qb 8.0.0 was released this past week, and it brings with it a small handful of new features. While this is technically a major release, I don't expect anyone to actually have a breaking change. In fact, I expect this will save you time and headaches as it has for me.

Congratulations are in order as our very own ColdBox turned 14 years old! The framework that we know today has been under constant development since its inception on June 2006. What started with a set of reusable code and tools that are used to increase development productivity, now has become a whole universe!

Being a new platform from Ortus, I wanted to take some time to dive in to the tech stack we are using to build CFCasts. Many people ask us how we would build a modern CFML site. Well, here's at least one answer.

Due to popular demand, we have decided to have another Zero to Hero Workshop on July 9 - 10!

Modernize all things!

FORGEBOX v5.1.0 released!

See Plans

Today we are pleased to announce a minor release for our FORGEBOX suite of products to version 5.1.0. It has tons of updates and nice features for all plans. Enjoy!

We have pushed a patch release of CommandBox 5.1.1 which is a small addition to the recent 5.1.0 release.  This release was primarily to address a regression in 5.1.0 affecting Mac OS users who tried to start Lucee servers.  If you see an error similar to this on a Lucee server and you're running a Mac and CommandBox 5.1.0, then this release will fix it for you.

lucee.runtime.exp.NativeException: mac os x is not a supported OS platform.

If you are upgrading from CommandBox 5.1.0, there are only a handful of tickets which are listed below.  If you are updating from an earlier version of CommandBox, please check out our 5.0.0 and 5.1.0 release blogs.
