CakePHP 2.9.0 and 2.8.9 Released
The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.9.0 and 2.8.9. 2.8.9 is the last scheduled bugfix release for 2.8. Going forward, 2.8 will only receive security fixes. 2.9.0 is a backwards compatible feature release for the 2.x series, adding several community contributed improvements.
Deprecations
- The Object class has been deprecated due to upcoming PHP7 collisions. It has been renamed to CakeObject to avoid collisions with new PHP reserved words.
New Features
- AuthComponent::user() now makes the user data available when using stateless authentication adapters.
- DboSource::flushQueryCache() was added to allow more fine-grained control of query result caching when enabled.
- The log messages created by ErrorHandler can now be more easily customized in subclasses.
- Additional mime-types for ‘jsonapi’, and ‘psd’ were added.
- Time & Datetime inputs no longer set a maxlength attribute when rendered as ‘text’ input types.
Bugfixes in 2.8.9
You can expect the following changes in 2.8.9. See the changelog for every commit.
- Minor DocBlock improvements.
- A change to CakeFixtureManager intended to optimize test suite runtimes was reverted. This change caused compatibility issues with existing applications.
