CakePHP 4.1.0-RC2 Released

The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the first release candidate of CakePHP 4.1.0. This beta introduces a handful of deprecations. It also adds window function support and common-table-expression support to the ORM. Furthermore, it features improved debug() output, and new ORM events for marshalling.

New Features

The migration guide has a complete list of what’s new in 4.1.0. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading as it outlines the deprecations present in 4.1.

Changes Since 4.1.0-RC1

  • Table::saveMany() now triggers the Model.afterSaveCommit event.
  • Improved deprecation links.
  • Fix a regression in RC1 where associations with dependent but not associated records would cause deletions to fail.
  • Fixed inflection of CamelCase words.
  • Deprecated TableRegistry::get(). Use the TableLocatorAwareTrait instead.
  • Fix query LoggingStatement prematurely fetching records.
  • The whitelist and sortWhitelist options for PaginatorComponent have been deprecated. Use allowedParameters and sortableFields instead.
  • Fixed incorrect paths in missing layout exception pages.
  • CsrfProtectionMiddleware::whitelistCallback() has been deprecated. Use skipCheckCallback() instead.
  • Add support for console colors in Windows 10 and bash emulation.
