CakePHP 4.2.3 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 4.2.3. This is a maintenance release for the 4.2 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 4.2.3. See the changelog for every commit.

  • Improve saving of translations when using the shadow table strategy.
  • Improved flash message retention. Messages are now merged with the existing messages making it compatible with multiple requests in the same test method.
  • Fix Session::read() to return the default value when a session cannot be started.
  • Improved API documentation.
  • Validation::custom() now accepts integer values.
  • The sprintf() translation formatter now works consistently with the intl based implementation when translating plural values. The count parameter is no longer the first placeholder value.
  • Mailer\Message now includes the textMessage and htmlMessage in serialized data.
  • Arguments for stacktraces are now included by default for development error pages.
