CakePHP still rising!
We are excited to announce the release of CakePHP 1.2.2.8120[1]. The latest stable release fixes several bugs including a security issue with paginator links. While this issue should only affect a small number of people, we highly recommend everyone upgrade to this stable version. We do not expect any incompatibilities with your current code, but as always check out the changelog[2] to see all the issues that were fixed

With several releases of CakePHP 1.2 behind us we can now being to focus our attention on the next versions. So, without further ado, we are happy to share the official git repository, http://thechaw.com/cakephp
For now, we are working on 1.3 with several "feature" branches, with "master" on the latest stable (1.2.2.8120) and the 1.2 branch as the development of the stable version. We will continue to accept tickets to https://trac.cakephp.org, but this will also change once we have a chance to migrate the old tickets. We ask that NO tickets be submitted on 1.3 unless it is an enhancement. These tickets should also be submitted to trac.
Hopefully, you are as excited as we are with all the new developments. Stop by #cakephp on irc.freenode.net, if you have any questions.
Bake on!

It was a bit of a pain converting the forms because of the changes from html helper to form helper. (or maybe there was some conversion tool around and i missed it?)
I hope that there will not be any change in the helper from 1.2 to 1.3; i would like to avoid reediting all the forms...
@kunfumaster The documentation in the Book[1] seems very informative to me (if it has flaws you can add comments on what you found lacking). MilesJ is quite a source of good advice on the list. As Dan said there is nothing wrong with the documentation[1] and the screencasts to are very good (I put them on my ipod I was baking by the second view when I found out about the screencasts). Things change so tutorials can't always be upto date, but the book is solid stuff, a more central resource - if you go wrong there IRC[3]
1) http://book.cakephp.org/view/113/Code-Generation-with-Bake 2) http://cakephp.org/screencasts 3) irc.freenode.net
@kunfumaster - I don't agree with you that the documentation is bad. I rarely need to go anywhere but the Book and the API, and in some seldom cases having a quick look at the code helps too. Try reading the Book from the start and ask questions on IRC if you're completely lost.
Since you are using outdated documentation and most likely you downloaded the latest version of cake some things make not work as smoothly as expected. Make sure the version of cakephp you are using and that used in the tutorial are the same. I suggest you stick with Cakephp 1.2
Baking is quite easy. The first thing you need to do is update your system environment path. You need to add the path to your cake console dir to your environment path before the 'cake bake' command can work.
If you are using Windows XP I suggest you use this tutorial to get started.

To the development team, you guys are the best!!! Thanks for all your hard work. I'm living a happier and more productive life thanks to you guys.
Maybe If you knew the first thing about PHP you would read the API or the files themselves and figure out how everything works, or perhaps not bake an application and build it yourself.
Stop complaining and blaming everything on the cake team. You've only been working on it 2 weeks? Lol, I built an application from the ground up in 2 weeks after I first started learning it.
And all I can say is WOW.
And a very heart felt Thank you !
having used cake, symfony, codeignitor, zend, as well as several smaller frameworks i have to say that cake is probably one of the most well documented and easy to get started with php frameworks. i found more than enough documentation on cakePHP.org as well as the bakery to get started. i also suggest trying to google group.
as for outdated code - there is a lot of pre 1.2 code floating around but it should at least work with 1.2 (although you will get depreciation warnings).
MVC and ORM can be a little tricky to wrap your head around at first so i'd also recommend reading some primers (wikipedia has several great articles) to get a firm understanding on how things work.
sorry to hear you're frustrated but i've found the amount of available documentation, examples, support for cake to be great...
consle = console
Would you recommend us to use 1.3 for new development?
think it's better upgrade code (if needed) to 1.3 when stable version will be released.
Keep up the good work :)
Looking forward to seeing a number of enhancements of my own pushed through for 1.3 development too!
