Redis Lucee Extension V1.3.0 released

We are very excited to bring you another release for our Redis Lucee Extension. This is a minor release and it sports quite a few updates thanks to customer feedback, especially on clients working with hosted Redis solutions that would require SSL and password authentication. We have expanded the connections to have more configuration parameters, especially if you are dealing with high traffic applications.

ColdBox Security V2.0.0 released

The ColdBox cbsecurity module will enhance your ColdBox applications by providing out of the box security in the form of:

• A security rule engine for incoming requests
• Annotation driven security for handlers and actions
• JWT (Json Web Tokens) generator, decoder and authentication services

We are so excited to release The ColdBox Security Module version 2.0.0. It has been quite a few years since we did a major version of our security module, but it is worth the wait. It is just easier to say we completely rewrote it in modern CFML and introduced modern Security practices, HMVC security to modules, annotation driven security and JWT token services. Never again write API security, we got you covered! We also completely rewrote the documentation and now we have yet another awesome security book: https://coldbox-security.ortusbooks.com/
