New Features

The migration guide has a complete list of what’s new in 4.2.0. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading as it outlines the deprecations present in 4.2.

Changes Since 4.2.0-beta1

• Http\Client::createFromUrl() was added.
• Improved errors when INSERT queries cannot be compiled.
• TableHelper::output() now has a text-right tag to right align cell content.
• TestFixture::isManaged() was added to make whether a fixture manages schema more explicit.
• UrlHelper now supports the assetUrlClassName option, which allows you to replace the class used to generate static asset URLs.
• TableLocator::allowFallbackClass() was added. This method lets you disable automatic fallback table class in a locator.
• Http\FlashMessage was added. This utility class enables flash messages to be manipulated from within middleware.
• Http\ServerRequest::getFlash() was added to expose the new flash utility.
