We’re thrilled to announce the release of BoxLang 1.0.0 Beta 26, a monumental update that takes performance and functionality to the next level. This beta officially certifies the ColdBox HMVC Framework to run on BoxLang, marking a significant milestone in compatibility. Not only can you now run all ColdBox applications seamlessly on BoxLang, but with the latest ColdBox snapshot, you can also build your entire applications in BoxLang, unlocking the full potential of this dynamic and expressive language for modern application development.
This release also introduces blazing-fast Query of Queries (QoQ) support, delivering speeds up to 70 times faster than Adobe or Lucee in specific scenarios, along with exciting new features like list parameter support in JDBC queries and custom QoQ functions. Over 70 bugs have been resolved, and significant improvements have been made, such as enhanced debugging capabilities, refined Box Script syntax, and robust session and metadata handling. With Beta 26, BoxLang continues to push the boundaries, empowering developers to build robust, efficient, and fully modern JVM-based applications.
Welcome to what could be our last beta before the final release of our initial 1.0.0 version of BoxLang and its multi-runtimes.
