Monday, we released CommandBox 2.2.0, the latest version of CFML's package manager, REPL, embedded server, and CLI.  We've got a nice list of bug fixes and some fancy new installation endpoints like CFLib and RIAForge.  We've bumped the underlying version of Lucee to the new stable release of Lucee 4.5.2.018 which was also released Monday. Another nice feature is that the REPL now runs in the context of the current directory meaning you can create CFCs in the working directory and read/write files.  

Check out our release notes below and then head over to the download page to grab the latest box binary.  It will automatically upgrade any existing installation on first run.
