The Bakery Everything CakePHP

The CakePHP development team is happy to announce the release the CakePHP 1.3.0-RC1. Since 1.3-beta was released we've been hard at work implementing new features and fixing issues in existing features in the 1.3 branch. There have been over 165 commits, and more than 75 tickets resolved. All methods previously issuing deprecation errors have since been removed, and will cause fatal errors in non-updated code.

There have been no major features added since the beta as the codebase stabilizes. 1.3.0-RC1 is the first of 4 Release candidate releases. Moving forward, there will be no further enhancements applied to the 1.3 branch and only issues with the existing features will be done. We are hoping this will afford a rapid series of releases building toward the 1.3 stable release.

In other project news, all of the 1.3 related wiki pages have been migrated to the new 1.3 book[1]. During the release candidate process, we will be focusing on updating the documentation pages as well as expanding any holes in the API documentation. Your help in these areas would be greatly appreciated, as the more eyes and brains we have looking at the documentation the better we can make it. Please edit the book directly, and submit patches/tickets for the API.

We'd like to thank you the community for the their ongoing support and contributions. Without the community surrounding CakePHP this project wouldn't be as vibrant and energetic as it is.
