# What's New With 2.9.0

2020-DEC-11

#### Fixed

* Fixes a typo in the `cbSecurity_onInvalidAuthorization` interception point declaration. Previously, the typo would prevent ColdBox from allowing the correctly-typed interception point from ever triggering an interception listener.
* The `userValidator()` method has been changed to `roleValidator()`, but the error message was forgotten! So the developer is told they need a `userValidator()` method... because the `userValidator` method is no longer supported. :/

#### Added

* The `isLoggedIn()` method now makes sure that a jwt is in place and valid, before determining if you are logged in or not.
* Migrated all automated tests to `focal` and `mysql8` in preparation for latest updates
* Add support for JSON/XML/model rules source when loading rules from modules.  Each module can now load rules not only inline but from the documented external sources.
* Ensure non-configured `rules` default to empty array

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://coldbox-security.ortusbooks.com/v2.x-3/intro/release-history/whats-new-with-2.9.0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
