CakePHP 2.9.0-RC1 Released
The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.9.0-RC1. This release is the first release candidate for the 2.9 branch which adds several new features to the 2.x series. We would appreciate any feedback you might have on the new features before their API definitions become stable.
Deprecations
- The Object class has been deprecated due to upcoming PHP7 collisions. It has been renamed to CakeObject to avoid collisions with new PHP reserved words.
New Features
- AuthComponent::user() now makes the user data available when using stateless authentication adapters.
- DboSource::flushQueryCache() was added to allow more fine-grained control of query result caching when enabled.
- The log messages created by ErrorHandler can now be more easily customized in subclasses.
- Additional mime-types for ‘jsonapi’, and ‘psd’ were added.
- Time & Datetime inputs no longer set a maxlength attribute when rendered as ‘text’ input types.
