The other update is for the extra downloads, the plugin pack. The plugin pack includes an update rssReader plugin that will now cache either in the coldbox cache or files. This gives you more versatility. Also, you can now decide how many entries per feed you want to create.
The other update is also for the plugin pack, new plugin called paging.cfc. This plugin will create a carrousel for paging for any type of recordset or whatever you want to create paging or carrousels for. The api is very simple to use.
Anyways, please enjoy this beta and test to your heart's content.
ColdBox 2.6.0 Beta 1 has been released. This is another major update to the framework and toolkit that encompasses on optimizations, bug fixes and several new features. The full release notes and what's new document have been posted to the wiki and you can check them out. Below is just a condensed listing of some of the new features that have been implemented for 2.6.0 beta 1. There are some that are still missing for a full release and of course, your testing and ideas are still welcomed for this version. The beta of 2.6.0 is planned to go on for about 3-4 weeks, depending on the amount of testing done and submissions.
You can now reinit the framework right from your panel.
One of the new things is that I am now delving into Eclipse and the first official ColdBox Eclipse Plugin is now online. The eclipse update site can now be found here: http://www.coldboxframework.com/distribution/eclipse/
Enjoy the coming eclipse plugins...
UPDATE:
The update site shown above is meant to be used within eclipse. For further instructions, see http://www.coldboxframework.com/index.cfm/download/extras
As you can see from the screenshot above, the new 2.6.0 comes with an eclipse documentation plugin, that embeds the entire codebase API into your eclipse help. The other cool thing is that all the documentation was produced by a coldbox application using the updated cfcViewer plugin. As you can see from the screenshot, the class documented is the new MXUnit class to support unit testing via MXUnit. Anyways, the plugin is now available in the nightly build or via SVN, and there might be some other plugins coming your way? (Husshhh) or maybe even a wiki? (Hushhhh)
The forums are there so you can report bugs, enhancements or chat about the dashboard. Please post any enhancement ideas you might have or anything you would like to see on the Dashboard to make you develop and maintain ColdBox applications.
