# What's new in 4.8.0

### Cached HTTP Downloads

You can now cache downloads using the HTTP(S) endpoints using the following syntaxes:

```bash
install https+cached://downloads.ortussolutions.com/ortussolutions/coldbox-modules/cbi18n/1.4.0/cbi18n-1.4.0.zip

start cfengine=http+cached://update.lucee.org/rest/update/provider/forgebox/5.3.3.60-RC
```

This will speed up builds.

### Change to Previous Directory

Thanks to a pull request from John Berquist, we've borrowed a Bash and Powershell feature of being able to change back to your previous working directory by typing this:

```bash
cd -
```

### Better Tab Completion

Thanks to more pull requests from John Berquist, you can use file and folder based tab completion when typing native binaries from CommandBox

```bash
!foo bar "C:/Program Files/baz/myFile.cf_
```

And tab completion also works better now when typing a quoted string such as a file path that contains a space. This is a huge timesaver!

```bash
cd "C:/program Fi_
```

### Access to Intercept data in package scripts

Package scripts that are fired from internal interception points, can access any intercept data via environment variables. This example writes a file into a server home directory when the server starts, using an environment variable to dynamically find the correct path.

```bash
package set scripts.onServerStart="touch \$ {interceptData.SERVERINFO.serverHomeDirectory}/hi.txt"
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/5.3.0/release-history/4.x-versions/whats-new-in-4.8.0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
