What's New in 4.5.0

The main features of CommandBox 4.5.0 are:

  • Ability to install OpenJDK automatically for your servers to use (read more)

  • Environment Variables in the shell (read more)

  • Support for Forgebox Enterprise (TBA soon)

  • JRE Bundled CommandBox installs now use OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK

  • TestBox Code Coverage integration (read more)

I already wrote a fairly comprehensive overview of the new features and big fixes here. Go read it:

https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-450-rc-release-candidate-ready-for-testing

Note, there are two backwards incompatible changes. The first is we turned OFF directory browsing by default on servers. You can easily get the old behavior back with

config set server.defaults.web.directoryBrowsing=true

The second is that unhandled errors in the shell no longer show the stack trace (you probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't tell you!) Get the old behavior back with:

config set verboseErrors=true
