CakePHP 5.0.3

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 5.0.3. This is a maintenance release for the 5.0 branch that fixes several community reported issues.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 5.0.3. See the changelog for every commit.

  • Update path to plugin_class_error.php.
  • Expanded enum support to include providing a label. Implementing Cake\Database\Type\EnumLabelInterface in your enum class will allow you to provide a user facing label. Labels are used by FormHelper when generating controls.
  • Improved validation support for enums.
  • Widened type of $format in TimeHelper::format().
  • Support for PHP 8.3
  • Fixed significant performance regression in intl date and datetime formatting. Serializing dates and datetimes now cache intl formatters restoring performance to 4.x levels.
  • Improved support for binaryuuid type across database platforms.
  • Improved readability of missing route pages by collapsing the route list by default.
  • Improve support for indexes on generated columns in SQLite.
  • Improved internal tooling for maintaining consistency in split packages.
