Saito 8.4.11 "beipackzettel"

[8.4.11] - 2026-08-17 "beipackzettel"

No migration. One file changed.

php bin/cake.php schema_cache clear

Warning

Before upgrading, check config/.env for values containing a space:

grep -nE '=[^"'"'"']*[[:space:]]' config/.env

Anything that matches needs quotes — export NAME="two words". This applies
to 8.4.10 as well; the release below only makes the failure legible.

• ✓ Fixed: an unreadable crash when config/.env holds an unquoted value with
  a space. The reader introduced in 8.4.10 refuses NAME=macnemo Forum where
  the previous one accepted it — and it refuses it during bootstrap, before
  CakePHP has an error page. What an operator got was HTTP 500 and a stack trace
  naming neither the file nor the remedy.

  This is not hypothetical and was not caught by the migration's own testing:
  the production install went down for five minutes on the day 8.4.10 shipped,
  on a value written years earlier and read without complaint ever since. The
  parser comparison behind that release checked NAME="two words" — quoted —
  and never tried it without the quotes, which is the likelier way to write it.

  The failure remains a failure: continuing without the file would swap a clear
  stop for a confusing database error later. What changes is that the log now
  names the file, repeats the value the library objected to, and says what fixes
  it. Three tests hold down that the reader really does refuse this input and
  that its own words do not tell anybody what to do — the two facts the wrapped
  message rests on.

  docs/update.md and docs/upgrade.md carry the check to run before
  upgrading, which is the only place it helps.
