CakePHP 4.0.3 Released
The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 4.0.3. This is a maintenance release for the 4.0 branch that fixes several community reported issues.
Bugfixes
You can expect the following changes in 4.0.3. See the changelog for every commit.
- Fixed password hashing being skipped when password field was null. This prevents a potential timing sidechannel should an application store users with null passwords.
 - i18n extract now skips writing files if no strings have changed.
 - If identifier quoting is disabled, queries will no longer have column aliases quoted. This helps improve performance of the ORM. Postgres still quotes aliases to prevent alias casing issues.
 - FormProtectionComponent no longer fails validation when PSR7 file upload objects are used.
 - Year widgets created with FormHelper now accept DateTime instances as their value.
 - Improved error message copying from exception pages.
