Release Notes

You can read our very detailed release notes in our archive page.  Below we will cover the major enhancements this release brings to the table a part from all the improvements and bugs that where squashed.

One of the most powerful features of ColdBox are interceptors. They follow a publisher/subscriber model that lets you decouple your application code and latch on to keys points in the ColdBox framework. You can create and announce as many custom interception points as you like, but today I want to review the built-in points that the framework provides you.

All it takes is a simple CFC and a line of config code to register a new interceptor, or "listener" that will be invoked any time an interception point is reached that the CFC is listening for. You can run your own auditing, logging, or re-route the request. Please skim through these and keep them in mind as you build your ColdBox applications.
