• Improved API documentation.
• Fixed incorrect cache key usage within Inflector.
• Fixed isset bug in debug output formatters.
• Fixed loose equality comparisons.
• Made EventInterface template covariant, improving type inference.

• BelongsToMany::unlink() now returns false if deleting the association link fails.

• QueryException now contains the connection that an error is from to improve debugging of multi-connection applications.
• Update to support PHPUnit 13, and continue to adopt Mockery for mocks.
• Application rules setError() now handles dotted field paths consistently with other ORM components.
• Fix sliding window rate limiter boundary conditions because of rounding down.
• Fix compatibility issues with PHP 8.4 and database reflection queries that trigger errors under PHP 8.4’s more strict float-to-int coercion.
• FormHelper will no longer mark fields as required, when they have a callable condition in a allowEmpty*().
