🚀 BoxLang Release Candidate 1 is Here! 🚀
After nearly a year of relentless iteration, rigorous testing, blood, sweat, lots of praying, tears, and over 1,000 resolved tickets, we proudly announce the first Release Candidate (RC1) of BoxLang! With 27 beta versions behind us, we are now on the final stretch toward the official 1.0 release.
This milestone ensures that most of our libraries are fully compatible and certified for BoxLang, making it production-ready. RC1 delivers significant bug fixes, performance optimizations, and stability enhancements, enabling teams to deploy and fine-tune their applications in real-world environments confidently. We strongly encourage the community to start running production workloads now—your feedback will be instrumental in refining BoxLang ahead of the final release.
Additionally, we are thrilled to open up support license subscriptions () for BoxLang +/++, offering enterprise-grade support, priority fixes, and exclusive benefits. As an introductory offer, all licenses are available at 50% off for February. In March, with the release of RC2, discounts will adjust to 25% off—scaling down progressively until our official launch at Into The Box 2025 ().
Let me also remind you that our Visionary Licenses will cease to be offered by the end of this month. Visionary licenses are unique for 10 years and 5 years of support. If you are interested in securing a visionary license, please email us at .
We encourage you to pre-compile your applications using our BoxLang compiler for incredibly safe and high-performance deployments since no parsing is involved. Combined with our new , your applications will fly and be highly performant.
