CakePHP 4.2.2 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 4.2.2. This is a maintenance release for the 4.2 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 4.2.2. See the changelog for every commit.

  • Integration tests now persist flash message more reliably when custom view classes are used, and when redirects are performed.
  • Changes made to FixtureManager were reverted fixing problems with fixture schema management and partial data loading.
  • API documentation was improved.
