CakePHP 2.7.9 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.7.9. This is a maintenance release for the 2.7 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 2.7.9. See the changelog for every commit.

  • file:// paths are now handled correctly by File on windows. (@markstory)
  • PaginatorHelper::numbers() now treats string integers as strings in the first/last option. This allows the use of page numbers in the first/last buttons. (@markstory)
  • XmlView now works when return => domdocument is used. (@markstory)
  • Memcached can now connect to unix domain sockets. (@tersmitten)
  • Simulated GET requests (via method overriding) no longer POST data populated. This prevents GET requests from looking like they are POST requests that may cause unintentional side-effects. (@lorenzo)
  • SecurityComponent now validates data whenever $request->data is populated. This allows SecurityComponent to apply to PATCH and DELETE requests. (@markstory, @chinpei215)
  • Shell::CODE_ERROR was backported from 3.x. This constant serves as a default value for the exit code in shell tasks. (@dereuromark)

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