ColdBox 2.0.3, Dashboard 2.2, and CCT released!

This release is the first one to include contributed content from Tom de Manincor, Brian LeGros, Sana Ullah, Aaron Roberson, and myself. The ColdBox Team and contributors are growing. The following is a list of what this release is composed of:

• Documentation updated and more guides
• New Sample Apps:
  
• Lightwire Sample
• CCTApp by Tom de Manincor  and myself. CCT is actually an application template with ColdBox, ColdSpring, and Transfer, that works with MS-SQL, My-SQL, and PostgreSQL. It contains some more goodness such as a transfer base decorator to enhance your transfer objects, account management, security interceptors and services, a UI table manager, and more... this is just the beginning my friend; wait till you see what's coming for ColdBox 2.1.
