The cake is still rising
Recent weeks have seen a few changes in the development team, as well as some clarification of the roadmap for CakePHP future releases. We'd like to thank those leaving for all their hard work and contributions. For those sticking around, you're in for a treat!
CakePHP Project Manager Garrett Woodworth and Developer Nate Abele have left the CakePHP development team. The entire team would like to thank them for their amazing work and efforts towards the core, cultivating the community and various other contributions associated to ongoing CakePHP development. We don't feel that we can fully express the gratitude we have for all their hard work, so we won't. Nate and Garret you will both be missed, thanks for all the fish.
While CakePHP 1.3 is still in development, we're hearing reports of project cropping up using the 1.3 core with great success. This is a testament to the rigorous testing regime in place for 1.3 and the upcoming 2.0 branch of code.
CakePHP 2.0 development has picked up significantly, being led by Predominant (Graham Weldon) and PhpNut(Larry Masters). A push is being made to release a "development" release as soon as possible. The rough roadmap and feature set of the CakePHP 2.0 branch has been updated on the CakePHP 2.0 wiki[1]. We're all excited to see more user input and feedback on the CakePHP 2.0 development and plans.
So, while we've had changes in the development team recently, in terms of the active developers working on CakePHP current branches, very little has changed. We'd also like to extend a thanks to Matt Curry[2] for providing a fill-in-the-blanks reply, to all the end of the world comments floating about.

Where does that leave us?
Recent efforts have seen CakePHP 1.3 being developed primarily by Mark Story. Mark has taken the lead on this version, and has been steam rolling bugs and plucking out enhancements for this version. Phenomenal progress has been made on the 1.3 branch, and we're all excited to see the progress.While CakePHP 1.3 is still in development, we're hearing reports of project cropping up using the 1.3 core with great success.

1 Cake3 status?
If that is the case, I think it'd be for the better of both projects. Going from 1.2->1.3->2.0 seems like a pretty clear path. I never really knew where Cake3 fit in.
That said, Cake is being held back by PHP4. You guys are solving this through refractoring. And Cake3 was solving that with a rewrite.
Choice is a good thing for developers.
