New Releases and Updates
CommandBox 5.9.1 Released!
We are pleased to announce the general availability of CommandBox 5.9.1. This is a very small release with two changes.
Update to Lucee 5.4.3.2
Update bundled JRE to 11.0.20+8
Note Lucee 5.4.3.2 contains critical security patches.
The new Lucee version affects the core CLI runtime as well as the default server you get when running "server start" with no cfengine specified. Possible compatibility issues related to the major bump in Lucee version:
This Lucee version does not include Hibernate, so the Ortus Hibernate extension is installed. We will stop doing this in 6.0This Lucee version has strict XML parsing settings on by default which may affect any servers you start which parse XML containing DTDs.

Webinar / Meetups and Workshops
Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group — Graph QL & ColdFusion
Speaker: Mark Takata
Friday, August 25, 2023 @ 12 PM HAST (Hawaii Standard Time)
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to REST.
In ColdFusion 2023 we are providing a native method of consuming and sending data across GraphQL using GQL. This includes support for fragments, variables, aliases, queries, mutations, subscriptions and more.
Also, this talk will go over on why to use Graph QL over REST APIs.
