Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 3.2.4. See the changelog for every commit.

• Table names are now quoted in SQLserver schema reflection when reflecting indexes. This allows table names in different schemas to be used. (@markstory)
• Validation::date(), Validation::dateTime() and Validation::time() now accept DateTimeImmutable. (@markstory)
• Warning related to PO file parsing when a message exists as both a context inclusive and context free message have been fixed. In this situation, the first message encountered will be used and the other will not be accessible. (@markstory)
• Serialization errors when reading negative numbers from Redis have been fixed. (@markstory)
• The ORM will now emit warnings when association properties shadow properties in a table. (@ADmad)
• Default string values now work correctly in Postgres. (@chinpei215)
• RelativeTimeFormatter now correctly formats ‘about a month ago’/’in about a month’ (@chinpei215)
• XML and JSON responses no longer contain stack traces. Including stack traces could cause fatal errors when unserializable objects were in the stack trace. (@markstory)
• Routes don’t recompile each time they are used within a single request. (@Phillaf)
• Unlinking HasMany associations correctly prefixes conditions, which fixes issues when an association finder includes additional associations by default. (@greew)
• Unlinking empty HasMany associations no longer emits warnings on null. (@lorenzo)
• UnaryExpression now correctly calls traverse on child expressions. (@greew)
• Time formatting no longer emits errors when using Russian or other languages that have more than 2 plural forms. (@lorenzo)
• Response::file() no longer attempts to clear the output buffering. This allows test cases involving files to not be marked as ‘risky’ by PHPUnit. (@lorenzo)

Minor Enhancements

• Improved API docs (@btaens, @markstory, @antograssiot)
• Response::getFile() was added. This gives you a way to read the file out of a response, which is helpful in testing. (@markstory)
• Association::className() was added. This lets you read the className option out of an association. (@ifunk)
• JsonConfig now pretty prints dumped files (@markstory)
• Routes can now use the multibytePattern option to enable multi-byte sub patterns in routes. (@markstory)
• UrlHelper::css(), UrlHelper::script() and UrlHelper::image() were added. (@jadb, @ADmad)
• MultipleCheckboxWidget now handles grouped options. This makes it more consistent with Select boxes. (@markstory)
• IntegrationTestCase::assertFileResponse was added. This method makes it easier to assert file responses. (@lorenzo)

We’d like to welcome @chinpei215 to the CakePHP team. He has been instrumental in finding and fixing a number of security issues in CakePHP.
