CakePHP 4.0.4 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 4.0.4. This is a maintenance release for the 4.0 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 4.0.4. See the changelog for every commit.

  • Http\Response::$_contentType was removed as it was often wrong and out of sync with the getHeader('Content-Type') value.
  • NumberHelper::precision() had the $options parameter added so it can better wrap Number::precision().
  • Add timestamptimezone mapping to FormHelper and DateTimeWidget.
  • IntegrationTestCaseTrait once again raises exceptions when disableErrorHandlerMiddleware() is used.
  • datetime-local values are rendered with milliseconds by DateTimeWidget only when step size is less than 1.
  • Improved API documentation.
  • Improved missing template exception messages. They now list out the full path of every attempted file.
  • CounterCacheBehavior no longer attempts to update values when the foreign key is null.
  • Loading optional associations with leftJoinWith() and contain() no longer raises an exception about missing association data.
  • TextHelper::autoParagraph() now accepts null.
  • HtmlHelper::para() now accepts null.
  • Validation::decimal() now handles Polish formatted numbers correctly.
  • HasMany associations now set invalid messages and errors on the parent entity when non-atomic saves fail.
  • Improved missing database exception message.
  • Logged fatal errors now include the file and line position.
