CakePHP 2.8.7 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.8.7. This is a maintenance release for the 2.8 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 2.8.7. See the changelog for every commit.

  • CakeRequest::header() can now read the Authorization header when it is set by fast-cgi.
  • TestShell now supports the --coverage-text option.
  • Folder::inPath() now only accepts absolute paths. It previously had ambiguous behavior when relative paths were used.

New Features
