CakePHP 2.9.6 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.9.6. This is a maintenance release for the 2.9 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 2.9.6. See the changelog for every commit.

  • Improved API documentation.
  • Added Validation::minLengthByte() and Validation::maxLengthBytes()
  • Allow false/true to be read as keys in Hash::get().
  • Exit early when SMTP connections are disconnected on the remote side. This prevents the SmtpTransport from waiting until the read timeout is reached.
