CakePHP v4.0.0-RC2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-12-02 // over 4 years ago

  • πŸš€ The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 4.0.0-RC2. This is the second and hopefully final release candidate for 4.0.0, and contains all the major features that are planned for 4.0.0. If no major issues are reported a stable release will be packaged in two weeks.

    ⚑️ Updating to the RC

    ⬆️ You can use composer to upgrade to the beta version of CakePHP 4.0.0:

    php composer.phar require --update-with-dependencies "cakephp/cakephp:4.0.0-RC2"

    πŸš€ We would greatly appreciate it if you temporarily upgraded your application, and ran your tests. By opening issues for any regressions in the release candidate, we can help ensure a smoother release of 4.0.0 before the stable release.

    What's new in 4.0.0?

    ⬆️ The migration guide has a complete list of what's new in 4.0.0, and what has been deprecated. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading.
