The CakePHP development team is happy to announce the release the CakePHP 1.3.0-RC4. This release marks the last release candidate, before 1.3.0 goes to stable. Since 1.3.0-RC3 was released 2 weeks ago there have been over 55 commits and 22 tickets fixed. The plan is to release 1.3.0 in 2 weeks, barring the discovery of any critical issues.

Since the last release there have been a few significant changes. Plugin shortcut routes were mostly removed[1]. This was done for a couple reasons. Firstly, they have never 'really' worked properly, and were prone to creating ambiguous routes that possibly left some actions not accessible, by the urls generated for them. Secondly, they incurred additional overhead as the Dispatcher attempted various parameter permutations until finding the correct controller. For these reasons the feature was removed. We are suggesting that users needing the old routing, setup the appropriate routes in their routes.php file.

In other project news, thanks to some contributions the API now has far more links back to the book than ever before. The 1.3 book has been receiving a healthy amount of translation attention. There are now 4 languages with more than 70% complete translations. A big thanks to everyone who has contributed to the translation efforts. You can now download CakePHP logos, powered by logos and iPad wallpapers[2].

We'd like to thank everyone who has contributed documentation, tickets and code between the last release and now.

    Great to see work progressing so steadily.

    I'd also like to note my very unscientific benchmarks.
    On my uncached dev-app hosted locally I see just over 10% increase in speed (compared to the current 1.2) in the setup and dispatch cycle (just hitting a trivial page a few hundred times).
