CakePHP v4.0.0-beta4 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-10-10 // over 4 years ago
  • πŸš€ The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the fourth beta release of CakePHP 4.0.0. Since the previous beta we've completed several tasks:

    • The requireSsl features of SecurityComponent are available as middleware in the HttpsEnforcerMiddleware.
    • ⚑️ Migrations has been updated to use Commands instead of Shells.
    • 4.x has adopted the PSR-12 formatting standard.
    • πŸ“¦ A new Asset class has been added to the routing package, making it easier to generate static asset URLs across your application.
    • 🚚 The internal request stack in Router has been removed. With requestAction() removed this feature provided little value.
    • πŸ‘ Email attachments now support UploadedFileInterface objects.

    πŸ†• New Features

    ⬆️ The migration guide has a complete list of what's new in 4.0.0. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading as it notes the various breaking changes present in 4.0.

    How you Can Help

    You can help deliver 4.0 by contributing in one of many ways:

    πŸ“š 1. Check the documentation for mistakes, outdated, unclear or broken examples. We've been trying to update everything but may have not caught everything. βœ… 2. Try it out! Give CakePHP 4.0 a test drive in a non-production application. We'd love to hear how converting a small application went and what was harder than it should have been.

    1. File issues for regressions in existing features, or suggest new features. While we're not likely to greatly expand the scope of 4.0, we would like input on what should be a part of 4.1 and 4.2.
    2. Let us know about unclear error messages or silent failures in CakePHP.
