BoxLang 1.6.0 is officially here, and it’s our fastest, smartest release yet!
We’ve been working hard on making BoxLang not just faster, but also more intelligent and observable.
Lightning-Fast Performance
We’re talking 45-65% performance improvements across the board! Plain text benchmarks jumped from 23,000 to over 53,000 requests per second. We even tested 5,000 concurrent WebSocket connections on a development laptop with only 256MB of memory. The results? Smooth as butter! 
AI Meets Documentation
This is a game-changer: BoxLang documentation is now accessible via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Connect Claude, GitHub Copilot, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant directly to our docs. Ask questions, get code examples, learn best practices - all without leaving your workflow!

See Inside Your Async Operations
The new BoxExecutor health monitoring gives you complete visibility into your async operations. Check health status, get detailed metrics, receive recommendations - it’s like having a personal async doctor! 
REPL Gets a Makeover
Syntax highlighting, tab completion, command history, multi-line editing - the REPL is now beautiful and productive!
Plus tons of bug fixes, compatibility improvements, and developer experience enhancements.
Happy coding!
