The first officially supported CakePHP plugins (Localized and Datasources) developed by the community and the core developers have released their first public release version 0.2.
The continuing development of CakePHP 1.3 recently eventuated in the export of certain datasources and constantly growing validation rules into official CakePHP plugins. This export and separation allowed us to enable the community to contribute on a more active level.

The communities contributions to date includes validations for 22 countries, and the addition of an XMLRPC datasource. There are further developments underway to include more popular datasources and extend this extremely useful set of plugins.

Version 0.2 of the localized[1] and datasources[2] plugins are available for download[3][4] now via Github.

The Localized plugin offers an extensive collection of Validation[7] rules for a range of countries. These validation rules are backed up by solid test cases. These localized validation rules allow you to provide validation checks for data such as phone numbers, post codes, and other region specific data that you may employ for your CakePHP App.

The Datasources plugin contains the less popular datasources that were previously part of the CakePHP core, as well as user contributed datasources. The book contains a good description of what datasources[8] are, and how they are used.

Any issued identified with either of the plugins can be reported[5][6] via the respective LighthouseApp projects for each plugin. We welcome any and all input for the development and extension of these plugins.
