Added

  • Expanded BoxLang Compatibility: Added hundreds of BIFs across arrays, structs, strings, lists, queries, sets, binary operations, encryption, conversion, decision, formatting, i18n, filesystem, JDBC, cache, system, temporal, XML, ZIP, and stream APIs.
  • Compatibility Transfer Suite: Added more than 500 black-box tests transferred from the BoxLang JVM implementation, including operators, scopes, casters, runtime types, and global BIFs.
  • Async Runtime APIs: Added futures, executors, thread lifecycle functions, and async collection helpers.
  • Watcher Lifecycle: Added watcher registration, lookup, start, stop, restart, shutdown, and filesystem event dispatch.
  • System Integration: Added native process execution, YAML deserialization, system metadata helpers, SOAP client compatibility, and raw CLI key input.
  • ESP32 HID and Web Control: Added USB keyboard and mouse BIFs, browser-based HID controls, application configuration, diagnostics, and ESP32 examples.

Changed

  • Non-blocking HTTP: HTTP requests now use native futures so other fibers can continue running while requests are in flight; HTTP support is enabled by default.
  • Prelude Performance: Replaced quadratic sorting and deduplication paths with O(n log n) sorting and O(n) uniqueness checks.
  • ESP32 Memory Use: Shared compiled route data and reduced route and HTTP caches to lower embedded memory pressure.
  • Runtime Isolation: Watcher registries are now scoped to each VM instead of process-global state.
  • Runtime Reliability: System output streams now flush after writes and garbage collection thresholds are configurable.

Fixed

  • Included MatchBox's default IO, HTTP, crypto, and CLI BIFs in standalone runner stubs.
  • Corrected getTempDirectory() to preserve either path separator on every host, including Windows paths returned with /.
  • Corrected BoxLang string parsing so backslashes remain literal and doubled quote delimiters produce one quote.
  • Isolated seeded random number generators and locale settings per VM so parallel scripts cannot interfere with one another.
  • Corrected BoxLang operator, tokenizer, temporal, filesystem, and cross-target compatibility behavior.
  • Normalized rooted and contracted paths across platforms, validated file access modes consistently, and made watcher event path tests platform-independent.
  • Added a tracked SOAP WSDL fixture so tests no longer depend on an external BoxLang checkout.
  • Improved compiler and runtime error messages with more accurate source locations and context.
  • Fixed ESP32 USB HID behavior and reduced route execution memory overhead.
