What's New in 4.4.0
Iterate over JSON with foreach command
The foreach command which was introduced recently and allows you to iterate over any list of input and run a command using each item in the list has been enhanced to also allow you to iterate from the CLI over any JSON string that you pipe in.

Directory Watchers have more data
Now when you create a directory watcher in a task runner or custom command, you can not only get notified when something in that directory changes, but you also now receive a list of files added, removed, and modified.
New "coldbox watch-reinit" command
Thanks to Scott Steinbeck, we have a new command called coldbox watch-reinit. This will watch for changes to certain files in your project and will automatically issue a framework reinit when you edit things like configs or services.
Color all the JSONs
Thanks to John Berquist, CommandBox now has sweet color coding any time it outputs JSON to the screen. Try it out by running something like "server show".

Users can also customize the colors they see for JSON with the following config settings:
json.ansiColors.constant
json.ansiColors.key
json.ansiColors.number
json.ansiColors.string
Setting values can be any color name from the system-colors command.
New Gist endpoint
Thanks to Jason Steinshouer we have a new Gist endpoint for installing code from a public Gist.
