New Releases and Updates

CBWIRE v2.1 Released

CBWIRE, our ColdBox module that makes building reactive, modern CFML apps delightfully easy, just dropped its 2.1 release. This release contains mostly bug fixes and also the ability to create your UI templates directly within your CBWIRE component using the onRender() method.
We've added an example of using onRender() to our ever growing CBWIRE-Examples Repo that you can run on your machine locally. https://github.com/grantcopley/cbwire-examples
