CakePHP 4.0.0-beta4 Released
The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the fourth beta release of CakePHP 4.0.0. Since the previous beta we’ve completed several tasks:
- The requireSsl features of SecurityComponent are available as middleware in the HttpsEnforcerMiddleware.
- Migrations has been updated to use Commands instead of Shells.
- 4.x has adopted the PSR-12 formatting standard.
- A new Asset class has been added to the routing package, making it easier to generate static asset URLs across your application.
- The internal request stack in Router has been removed. With requestAction() removed this feature provided little value.
- Email attachments now support UploadedFileInterface objects.
New Features
The migration guide has a complete list of what’s new in 4.0.0. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading as it notes the various breaking changes present in 4.0.
How you Can Help
You can help deliver 4.0 by contributing in one of many ways:
- Check the documentation for mistakes, outdated, unclear or broken examples. We’ve been trying to update everything but may have not caught everything.
- Try it out! Give CakePHP 4.0 a test drive in a non-production application. We’d love to hear how converting a small application went and what was harder than it should have been.
- File issues for regressions in existing features, or suggest new features. While we’re not likely to greatly expand the scope of 4.0, we would like input on what should be a part of 4.1 and 4.2.
- Let us know about unclear error messages or silent failures in CakePHP.
