News and Events

New Into the Box Dates Announced - 100% finalized!!!
 
Set in stone and signed in blood!
Ortus Solutions is happy to announce we have new finalized dates for Into the Box 2022 and the venue. Into the Box 2022 will be hosted in Houston Texas, Tuesday September 6th through Thursday September 8th, 2022. The conference will be at a new venue, the Houston CityPlace Marriott at Springwoods Village.
Why did we change the dates? Ortus Solutions decided to change the dates for you, the community!
Ortus Solutions is a company that at the end of the day, wants what is best for the ColdFusion community. Ortus Solutions provides content, tools, trainings, conferences, support and development, but we all thrive when the ColdFusion community thrives, and that means more events, bigger events, more opportunities for speakers and attendees, so moving our conference was the smart move, for everyone.

Since we moved dates for ITB 2022 - We extended the Call for Speaker Deadline - April 30, 2022!!!

Since we had to make changes to the schedule, we wanted to make sure every community member had the opportunity to submit their proposal.
Into the Box will be live in Houston in September 2022.
We have 20+ speakers submit talks, with over 50 topics, so it will be hard to make a decision.
Although the deadline passed, the form hasn’t be disabled just yet, so if you want to sneak one in, do it now, sssssh secret squirrel.

Releases and Updates

Lucee 5.3.9.131 Released

Last week the stable release of Lucee 5.3.9 was made available. Available in CommandBox and from the Lucee Downloads Site
https://download.lucee.org/

CommandBox v5.5.0 and v5.5.1 released

CommandBox 5.5.0 was released. We found some issues due to a last minute change, we rolled out a 5.5.1 patch yesterday, that seems to solve that initial issue.

CommandBox Docker v3.5.0 Images Released

Today we are pleased to announce the release of version 3.5.0 of our CommandBox Docker images, which contains significant upgrades to the underlying CommandBox engine.
Most significantly, this release upgrades the CommandBox binary to 5.5.1, which uses Lucee 5.3.9 as the underlying CFML engine. In addition, this release changes the underlying base image over to use the eclipse-temurin image builds, as the adoptopenjdk builds are being sunsetted. With this change, the underlying Debian version changes to use Ubuntu 20.0.0 (focal). As such, some custom installs in Dockerfiles may need updates to available packages from this distro.

ColdBox Elixir v4 Released

Hot off the presses, ColdBox Elixir v4 is now available on NPM. This is a massive upgrade under the hood, but it shouldn't require any API changes if you are using just Elixir methods. (If you are customizing Webpack directly, you may need to make additional changes.) Please check out the Migration Guide for help upgrading.

CFWheels 2.3.0 Release Candidate

This version has been cooking for a while and there have been many contributors. But since this is my first release a the helm with a new CI pipeline in place, I felt more comfortable doing a Release Candidate first.
