CakePHP 3.1.6 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 3.1.6. This is a maintenance release for the 3.1 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 3.1.6. See the changelog for every commit.

  • The Auth.afterIdentify event is now triggered for stateless authentication.
  • Query::offset() now marks a query as modified.
  • Calling find() on a BelongsToMany association now joins the junction table. This allows association conditions to be applied to queries.
  • Redis DSN parsing was fixed.
  • FormContext::errors() now handles nested validation errors.
  • The existsIn() rule now uses an association’s bindingKey option.
  • requestAction() now passes cookies to the sub-request as documented.
  • FormHelper now treats string integer values as UTC timestamps. This mirrors how it handles integer values.
  • FormHelper now correctly generates name attributes for dot pathed field names that end in [].
  • A memory leak in ORM\ResultSet has been fixed.
  • DashedRoute now correctly handles vendor prefixed plugin names.
  • CORS domain handling is more robust and less permissive.
  • Postgres index reflection is more robust and can handle complex index definitions.
  • Postgres schema reflection more accurately defines SERIAL columns.
  • Pagination of complex queries using expressions in their ORDER clause no longer fail.
  • File can now open file:// paths on windows.
  • bin/cake i18n init now preserves the locale case.

Minor Enhancements

  • Session configuration now better handles environments where runtime modification of session configuration is not allowed.
  • The phpdbg SAPI is treated the same as CLI.
  • CompletionShell suggests task and shell names based on short forms. It can also suggest option names for subcommands and tasks now.
  • Compatibility with PHPUnit 5 was improved.
  • Query::removeJoin() was added. This method can be used to remove joins from a query by join alias.
  • View::reset() was added. This method lets you reset the contents of a view block.

As always, a huge thanks to all the community members that helped make this release happen by reporting issues and sending pull requests.
