News, tutorials, and release announcements for Wheels.https://blog.wheels.dev/en-ushttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-coverage-and-the-complexity-panel/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-coverage-and-the-complexity-panel/There was a controller with nine hundred lines and one bug that only fired in September. Three developers touched it that week. When we pointed the complexity panel at it, the score said everything — and the coverage run said the test suite had never touched it. 4.1 ships the two tools that make that obvious before the September bug goes out.Wed, 09 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4CLItestingPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/the-wheels-4-1-security-hardening-pass/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/the-wheels-4-1-security-hardening-pass/A security review of Wheels 4.0 found a pile of "surely that's safe" that weren't: a policy that treated the string "yes" as true, a form method override that worked on a GET, a zip that could escape its directory. 4.1 closes them by failing closed. Here's the story area by area, and what you have to check on the way up.Tue, 08 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4securityPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/how-we-made-model-instantiation-2-5x-faster/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/how-we-made-model-instantiation-2-5x-faster/@chapmandu reported his ported app's test suite running nearly six times slower on Wheels 4 than on 2.5. We didn't believe it, so we built a benchmark rig to prove him wrong. He was right. Here's the three-month investigation, two unrelated bugs it surfaced, and the lesson about trusting micro-benchmarks.Mon, 07 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4performancebehind-the-scenesPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/cli-workflow-upgrades-migrate-diff-dry-run-offline/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/cli-workflow-upgrades-migrate-diff-dry-run-offline/A deploy pipeline went green while doing nothing to the database, and a code review approved a generator run that had already written files. Both were "the CLI guessed wrong." 4.1 adds diff, dry-run, and offline mode — and the honesty fixes that make a green build mean something.Sun, 06 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4CLIwheels-cliPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/dependency-injection-factories-with-tofactory/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/dependency-injection-factories-with-tofactory/A storage service had to pick S3 in production and the local disk in dev. The to() binding couldn't express that, so the decision leaked into every caller. toFactory() gives a DI container a *how* — and it's the difference between one closed arrow and ten open switch statements.Sat, 05 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4dependency-injectionPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/pretty-urls-with-route-bindby/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/pretty-urls-with-route-bindby/A support engineer pastes a link into a customer chat, and they get /posts/4821. Nobody shares /posts/4821. bindBy="slug" exists to make resource URLs say something — and it comes with one mistake you can make that quietly breaks your site.Fri, 04 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4routingPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/one-line-session-auth-with-enablesession/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/one-line-session-auth-with-enablesession/The enableSession() facade is one line of config. But the real story is the three subtle bugs it exists to prevent — the ones that only surface after the second deploy, or only on a reload, or only for a user who was already logged in. Here's what happens when the wiring goes right.Thu, 03 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4authenticationdependency-injectionPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/bcrypt-password-hashing-in-wheels-4-1/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/bcrypt-password-hashing-in-wheels-4-1/The story of how bcryptHash(), bcryptVerify(), and bcryptNeedsRehash() made it into Wheels 4.1 starts with a pentest finding and a migration that took three weeks.

It's the release where a single bug report sent us back to the drawing board, where a security pass made the things you always assumed were safe actually be safe, and where the framework got meaningfully faster. Here's what's coming, and the story behind it.Tue, 01 Sep 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4release-notesPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-4-0-6-released/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-4-0-6-released/Wheels 4.0.6 is the first 4.0 feature release after 4.0.5's hardening pass — one-command authentication (`wheels generate auth`), an authorization policy layer, pluggable local/S3 storage disks, query-builder chains that can start with `select()`, and the mixin-plan cache that was making 4.0.x feel slow. Also: Adobe `onApplicationEnd` teardown, tenant/pagination request-key collisions, test-runner isolation, and a production gate on `/wheels`.Fri, 21 Aug 2026 01:00:00 GMTwheels-4release-notesframeworksPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-i18n-internationalization/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-i18n-internationalization/i18n usually arrives as an emergency. wheels-i18n makes the mechanical part boring: t() and tp() with interpolation and pluralization, JSON or database catalogs, session-based locale switching, and the fallback chain that makes incremental translation actually shippable.Fri, 24 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4i18npackagesviewsPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/debug-bar-tour-wheels-4/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/debug-bar-tour-wheels-4/Most developers use a fifth of the debug bar and writeDump() around the rest.

Plus PostgreSQL/CockroachDB foreign-key migration fixes, pre-23c Oracle support, preserved column casing in model output, and a fix that stops framework helpers from being URL-invokable as controller actions.Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTwheels-4release-notesframeworksPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-4-0-2-released/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-4-0-2-released/Wheels 4.0.2 is the second patch on the 4.0 line. It teaches the migrator how to cope with a database that more than one developer shares — orphan-version detection, a `migrate doctor` health report, and `forget` / `pretend` reconciliation commands — fixes a class of silent migration rollbacks on MSSQL, makes the migrator's column-name helpers consistent, and ships native signed apt.wheels.dev / yum.wheels.dev package repositories so Linux installs and upgrades are a one-liner.Wed, 27 May 2026 20:13:01 GMTwheels-4release-notesframeworksPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-4-0-1-released/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/wheels-4-0-1-released/Wheels 4.0.1 is out — the first patch on the 4.0 line. It hardens Adobe ColdFusion 2023/2025 compatibility, fixes the Windows Scoop install regressions reported after GA, adds CSS-framework presets to paginationNav(), short-circuits whereIn([]) so empty filters stop emitting invalid SQL, and threads about a hundred smaller fixes through the rest of the framework.Wed, 20 May 2026 23:00:00 GMTwheels-4release-notesframeworksPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/skip-the-plugin-rate-limited-api/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/skip-the-plugin-rate-limited-api/Wheels 4.0 ships a real middleware pipeline, and three of the things you used to reach for a plugin to add — rate limiting, CORS, and security headers — are built in. This post walks through wiring a JSON API with per-API-key rate limits, sane proxy handling, and the right ordering so you do not accidentally weaken the very headers you were trying to add.Fri, 15 May 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4middlewarerate-limitingsecurityPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/from-wirebox-to-wheelsdi/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/from-wirebox-to-wheelsdi/Wheels 4.0 decomposes the framework's rim against the CFML engine, pulls dependency injection and the test runner in-house as wheelsdi and WheelsTest, and breaks the monolithic boot sequence into discrete phases. Nothing a user of the framework notices at the surface. Everything a contributor notices when they try to add the next feature.Thu, 14 May 2026 14:00:00 GMTwheels-4dependency-injectioninternalsPeter Amirihttps://blog.wheels.dev/posts/upgrading-from-wheels-3x/https://blog.wheels.dev/posts/upgrading-from-wheels-3x/Wheels 4.0 lands with seven breaking changes and a Legacy Compatibility Adapter for teams that cannot touch every call site this quarter.
