CakePHP 2.5.0-RC1 Released

The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.5.0-RC1.

The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.5.0-RC1[1]. This is the first release candidate for the 2.5.0 branch. The 2.5.0-RC contains bugfixes and a few new features added since 2.5.0-beta was released. When complete, 2.5.0 will replace the 2.4.x branch. A migration guide is available in the book [2] and we encourage you to read it if you are upgrading from an older version.

Changes since 2.5.0-beta

  • HtmlHelper::addCrumb() can now be chained to add multiple crumbs.
  • BaseAuthorize::mapActions() can now map custom action types.
  • cake acl delete now deletes all matching rows.
  • Dispatcher::_invoke() no longer takes a response parameter.
  • Set class is now deprecated and has been removed in 3.0. You should use Hash class instead.
  • CakePlugin::loadAll() now merges settings with defaults.
  • AssetDispatcher now returns 404 errors with no content body when plugin/theme assets cannot be found.

If there are no important issues found, a stable release of 2.5.0 should be released in the next few weeks.

A huge thanks to all involved in terms of both contributions through commits, tickets, documentation edits, and those whom have otherwise contributed to the framework.
