CakePHP 3.8.8 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 3.8.8. This is a maintenance release for the 3.8 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 3.8.8. See the changelog for every commit.

  • Improved API documentation.
  • Text::slug() can now preserve spaces.
  • FunctionsBuilder::datePart() now passes on its type parameters.
  • A potential session fixation issue was fixed. To be vulnerable your application must also have a cross-site-scripting vulnerability or have strict sessions disabled.
  • SQLServerSchema dialect now handles the restrict mode of foreign keys correctly.
  • Matching routes with integer values is now more typesound.
  • Shims were added to TestCase to enable getMock() and getMockBuilder() to not emit deprecations in PHP7.4
  • A regression in how FormHelper::dateTime() handles empty values was fixed.
  • When generating URLs, routes with controller and action placeholders no longer strip these these keys when they are undefined. Instead routes missing the controller and action keys will fail to match.
  • Optional routing placeholders now work consistently for both braced placeholders and colon placeholders.
