CakePHP 3.8.9 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 3.8.9. This is a maintenance release for the 3.8 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 3.8.9. See the changelog for every commit.

  • Error/Notice messages now have the correct context and code snippets when DebugKit is enabled.
  • When a joined association uses formatResults the parent entity is no longer marked dirty if the result formatter modifieds the association entity.
  • Fixed contain() on BelongsToMany association restricting fields with fields option.
  • Fix element cache key generation when elements were in subdirectories.
  • Improved API documentation.
  • i18n extract now skips writing files if no strings have changed.
  • Fixed password hashing being skipped when password field was null. This prevents a potential timing sidechannel should an application store users with null passwords.
  • Fixed a notice error UrlHelper::assetUrl() when $path is null.
