The BoxLang team is excited to announce BoxLang 1.8.0, a massive release that revolutionizes HTTP capabilities, introduces comprehensive SOAP/WSDL integration, and delivers over 100 critical bug fixes for production-grade stability. This release focuses on modern web application development with fluent APIs, streaming support, persistent connection management, and extensive CFML compatibility improvements.

November 2025 was a big month at Ortus. BoxLang 1.7.0 arrived with real-time streaming, distributed caching, and faster compiler internals. ColdBox gained a cleaner debugging experience with full Whoops support, while CBWIRE 5 launched with stronger security, smarter lifecycles, and easier uploads.

Because you asked; we’re extending the Thanksgiving Week offer and officially launching our Cyber Monday BoxLang Deals today!

To support everyone who wants to understand whether they’re running on legacy CFML or modern-ready code, and whether BoxLang is the right fit; we’ve decided to extend the dates and increase the number of companies we can support.

Originally set to open on the 24th, we’ve decided to release the registration early, starting November 20th, so we can begin scheduling your BoxLang Compatibility Report audits next week and make sure they’re completed before the end of the year.
