CakePHP 3.3.0-beta3 Released
The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 3.3.0-beta3. This is a beta release for the 3.3 release branch. 3.3 provides a number improvements both large and small. It also deprecates several features that will be removed in 4.0.0. We would appreciate any feedback you might have on the new features before their API definitions become stable. In particular for the new PSR7 related features, as we see PSR7 as playing a big part in CakePHP’s future.
Upgrading to this Beta
You can use composer to upgrade to the new beta version of CakePHP 3.3.0:
php composer.phar require "cakephp/cakephp:3.3.0-beta3"
What’s new in 3.3.0?
The migration guide has a complete list of what’s new in 3.3.0, and what has been deprecated. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading.
Breaking Changes Since beta2
- Cake\Http\MiddlewareStack is now Cake\Http\MiddlewareQueue. The new name better reflects the implementation (@ADmad)
- The allowPartialNulls option in the ExistsIn rule has been renamed to allowNullableNulls. (@ionas)
Bugfixes and Minor Features
This release fixes a few issues identified in the 3.3.0-beta, as well as bugfixes from master.
- The default ErrorController now always loads the RequestHandlerComponent. (@ADmad)
- Router methods consistently use static now, making user-land extensions easier. (@skie)
- BelongsToMany::replaceLinks() now returns false when persisting an entity fails due to application rules. (@markstory)
- Throwing an exception from a Table’s afterSave now aborts the transaction correctly. (@lorenzo)
- Text::stripLinks() now recursively strips HTML links. This method is also now deprecated. (@markstory)
- A new exception class for HTTP status code 451 was added. (@Graziel)
- ExistsIn now has better errors for missing associations. (@burzum)
Unless there are major issues with the 3.3.0-beta3 release, we will have a release candidate and stable release packaged in the 2-3 weeks. The documentation for 3.3.0 is now available in the book.
As always, a huge thanks to all the community members that helped make this release happen by reporting issues and sending pull requests.
