CakePHP 2.6.1 Released

The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.6.1.

The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.6.1. 2.6.1 is a bugfix release for the 2.6 release branch. A short list of the changes you can expect is:

  • I18nShell now correctly extracts messages with context.
  • Improved web test runner. All URL options now have links in the interface.
  • Session directories are now created when debug is enabled.
  • Text columns in SQLServer no longer contain length when reflected. The length value was not useful and was causing FormHelper to misbehave.
  • AssetDispatcher no longer sets the Content-Length header as it was incorrect when assets included PHP code.
  • URL autolinking has been improved.
  • Criterion is now correctly inflected.
  • Time strings are now correct when mbstring is not installed.
  • The exception emitted when headers were sent has been removed. This exception was causing more problems than it was solving, including infinite loops on fatal error pages.
  • Radio buttons that are only partially disabled are now added to the list of secured fields.
  • MySQL now correctly quotes SET column values.
