The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.5.4. 2.5.4 is a bugfix release for the 2.5 release branch. A short list of the changes you can expect is:

• Improved SMTP auth reply checks.
• Headers are now correctly sent when using ajaxLogin elements with AuthComponent.
• Errors in sample schema files were corrected.
• SecurityComponent no longer puts URLs containing a space into the blackhole callback.
• Year validation now accepts dates from 1800 and later.
• RequestHandlerComponent will unserialize request bodies on DELETE requests.
• Transactions are now rolled back in saveAssociated/saveMany when exceptions are raised.
• Model::afterFind() is no longer called twice for hasOne/belongsTo associations. It is now only called once, with the model alias format.
• Join building now accepts no conditions. When joins are created with no conditions a cross will be created unless where conditions correctly restrict the query.
• SchemaShell now correctly handles the –file and –name switches.
• Generated schema files have more predictable names now. Instead of using the APP_DIR value, they will always used ‘App’ for application schema files.
• Exceptions arising from race conditions in FileEngine are now ignored.
• CakeTime now returns ‘’ on invalid input.
• Translation functions correctly format placeholders when the first value is null.
• CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is no longer used as a string default value for TIMESTAMP columns with UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in MySQL.
• Words ending in ‘data’ are no longer inflected to datum. This means works like ‘FileMetadata’ are not inflected incorrectly.
