The CakePHP development team presents CakePHP 1.3.0. After a solid release candidate cycle, we're happy to announce the release of the next version of CakePHP stable. This next instalment of the CakePHP line brings a myriad of enhancements, fixes and structural changes to the framework designed to ease your development experience and extend the capabilities of CakePHP.

The documentation accompanying CakePHP 1.3 far exceeds any previous release. The development, enhancement and change process has been meticulously documented to ensure a seamless upgrade path is available from CakePHP 1.2.x. While most applications will be able to make this transition with minimal changes, those that need migration will find the process far easier than previous releases. A summary of CakePHP 1.3 [1] is available as well as a comprehensive migration guide [2] and a full list of new features [3].

The API [4] has been updated to the 1.3.0 release version to correctly reflect the changes in documentation and code. The CakePHP Cookbook has its own 1.3.x branch for documentation [5], which has been updated in numerous sections to reflect the changes and updates within this new release. The cookbook is heavily driven by user submissions. If you see an issue within the cookbook, or feel that a section could be extended or added to, please feel free to submit a change.

This release comprises 39 commits and 20 tickets closed.

As we push forward, the development teams efforts will be focused on CakePHP 2.0 and beyond. Soon a roadmap, release plan, and associated documentation, API and change details will be made available. CakePHP 1.3 will be updated as necessary to correct issues if they arise, enhancements are being pushed over to 2.0 as we push forward with development.

We'd like to thank everyone that submitted bug reports, pull requests, documentation updates, API changes, helped out in the IRC channel and everyone that continues to contribute, promote and use the CakePHP framework.

    I cant wait to begin a new project on this, you guys are so amazing. The fact that its free, and so amazing is simply awesome. My hearty congratulations to the team for the effort.

    I love rails, but on PHP, CakePHP is undoubtedly the best MVC framework around.

    I don't mind endorsing it really

    I was waiting for this a long time. Thank you guys for all the hard work. We already started migrating our project to 1.3.

    Can't wait for 2.x, and a less painful ACL ;)

    Thanks to the whole team for all the hard work they've done on 1.3. I've found it far faster than the 1.2 branch and the API improvements are great. Keep up the good work!

    You guys are amazing. Keep up the great work. CakePHP is BY FAR the best MVC framework available for PHP... and one of the overall best ways to code for the web period. Being open source and free, I can't thank you guys enough.

    If any of my CakePHP apps ever make it remotely huge, expect an extravagant donation for your insanely intense efforts.
