CakePHP 4.3.0-RC4 Released
The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the first release candidate of CakePHP 4.3.0. The 4.3.0 release will introduce several new features and a handful of deprecations.
New Features
The migration guide has a complete list of what’s new in 4.3.0. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading as it outlines the deprecations present in 4.3.
Changes from RC3
Since the release of 4.3.0-RC3 the following changes have been made:
- A new fluent builder for CASE expressions was added to QueryExpression.
- QueryExpression::addCase() is now deprecated.
- Associations that load records with the subquery strategy, no longer include a LIMIT clause if there is no ORDER BY on the query.
- CakePHP’s dependency on league/container was bumped to ^4.x this may cause type errors with ServiceProvider implementations.
- The new fixture system was further refined, both in API and performance. These changes may cause incompatibilities with applications using previous release candidates.
- Fixed the singular form of ‘lenses’ to ‘lens’.
