Ortus Solutions is proud to announce that one of our newest steps in our Modernize or Die ® movement, announced at Into the Box 2019, is now launched. The Modernize or Die Podcast CFML News Edition has been launched and is now available online, on youtube, and in your favorite Podcast player.

For your hosts, you will get the pick of the litter with these two. Gavin, a Kiwi, and Andrew a redneck, bringing you the latest and greatest CFML News. You'll also see a few of the other Ortus team members drop in from time to time. Gavin is a member of the Ortus Team and Andrew is a solid CFML Community Member, trying to do what they can to improve the CFML community.

Gavin and Andrew will do their best to keep you up to date on everything ColdFusion related. Events, Engine updates and releases, Frameworks Tools and Module releases, the best quality blog posts, tweets and videos from the community as well as the ForgeBox module of the Week and the VS Code Hint Tip and Trick of the week. The goal is to keep it short and sweet, but there is a lot of news right now, so we're averaging about 20 minutes.

Most importantly, where can you watch / listen to the podcast?

ColdBox 8.2.0: Middleware, Streaming, AI Gateways, and a Whole Lot More

ColdBox 8.2.0 is the result of work we started in March. Several of its headline features, including route-scoped middleware and Server-Sent Events, were incubated for months before shipping. We held them back on purpose: we wanted the APIs settled, the edge cases covered, and the testing story complete before asking you to build on them. They're ready now.

Assert Like You Mean It, TestBox 7.1 Part 1: Set Expectations

If you have ever tested that two collections contain "the same stuff, order doesn't matter," you already know the workaround: sort both arrays, compare them element by element, and hope nobody adds a duplicate. It works, but it isn't what you meant to write. You meant "these are the same set."

Is Your QA Process Ready for Your Next ColdFusion or BoxLang Release?

Is Your QA Process Ready for Your Next ColdFusion or BoxLang Release?

As applications continue to evolve, QA can easily become reactive. Teams may test late in the development process, focus only on happy-path scenarios, repeat manual checks, or rely on AI-generated changes without fully validating the results. ​ These gaps can create risks that are not always visible until they affect users, disrupt operations, or require costly fixes in production.
