Release History

All the major information about ColdBox Releases

Versioning Schema

ColdBox is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible. Releases will be numbered in the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)

• New additions without breaking backward compatibility bump the minor (and resets the patch)

• Bug fixes and misc changes bump the patch

LTS - Support Policy

For all ColdBox releases, updates are provided for 12 months, and security fixes are provided for 2 years after the next major release.

Version	Release	Updates	Security Fixes
8.x	2025	2026	2027
7.x	2023	2024	2025
6.x	2022	2023	2024
