# What's New With 7.4.0
6+
7+
Welcome to ColdBox 7.4.0, our last planned release for the 7.x series before our 8.x series starts. Let's review the major updates of these release.
8+
9+
10+
11+
## ColdBox Updates
12+
13+
<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/logo-gradient-dark.png" alt=""><figcaption><p>www.boxlang.io</p></figcaption></figure>
14+
15+
### BoxLang Support
16+
17+
With the latest updates, ColdBox extends its capabilities to support the development of entire applications using BoxLang exclusively. This enhancement allows developers to leverage the full power and modern syntax of BoxLang, streamlining the development process and adopting current best practices.&#x20;
18+
19+
For those who prefer a gradual transition, ColdBox offers the flexibility to integrate BoxLang within existing ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) applications. Consequently, developers can choose to write components, handlers, views, and models using either BoxLang, CFML, or a combination of both. This dual-support approach not only facilitates a seamless transition for applications migrating from CFML to BoxLang but also enables new projects to be crafted entirely in the more modern and robust BoxLang environment.
20+
21+
Nothing for you to do except create `.bx, bxm` templates for your application
22+
23+
### BoxLang Template
24+
25+
You also now have a `bx-default` application template you can use to build your applications with. You can find it here: [https://github.com/coldbox-templates/bx-default](https://github.com/coldbox-templates/bx-default)
26+
27+
## CacheBox Updates
28+
29+
### DiskStore Rewrite
30+
31+
The entire `DiskStore` has been rewritten to include better performance but more importantly to be able to be used concurrently and on distributed network drives. It no longer relies on in-memory indexes and each store on each cluster node can rebuild itself.
32+
33+
### BoxLang Providers
34+
35+
If you are migrating your ColdBox applications then you will need to update your Lucee/CF Providers to use the BoxLang ones:
36+
37+
| Lucee | Adobe | BoxLang Equivalent |
38+
| -------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------- |
39+
| LuceeProvider | CFProvider | BoxLangProvider |
40+
| LuceeColdboxProvider | CFColdBoxProvider | BoxLangColdBoxProvider |
41+
42+
### Memory Indexers
43+
44+
Memory indexers have also been rewritten to improve stability on clustered servers and to avoid null issues and double map tracking.
45+
46+
47+
48+
## LogBox Upates
49+
50+
Rollling file threads had an bad setting and they would be running on a 1 millisecond timer. This not only has been mitigated, but also made it configurable via the `rotatorSchedulerMinutes` property on the appender.
51+
52+
53+
54+
## WireBox Updates
55+
56+
WireBox now completely talks BoxLang and CMFL. Giving it the ability to inject, build and compose objects of either language.
57+
58+
59+
60+
