v2.0.0

BakeKit 2.0 Released

⚠️ Breaking changes

• CakePHP updated to 5.3.*

• Renamed class CmsPlugin to BasePlugin
• Renamed method addCrumb to addBreadcrumb

• Removed mobiledetect/mobiledetectlib dependency

✨ New features

• Blocks are now managed directly from the theme view (via the Blocks button) — the separate Regions & Blocks menu item has been removed
• Two system menus (Plugins menu and Custom menu) are created automatically on installation — no manual setup required
• A plugin's main page can now be set as the site home page using App.defaultHomepage in app_local.php
• Plugin links for menus now use the #[Link(summary: '...', description: '...')] PHP attribute
• Controller resources for the permissions system now use the #[Resource(label: '...')] PHP attribute — only attributed controllers are registered
• No more regions in admin panel

• Refactored image processing layer
• Refactored access control system
• New stable AdminLTE 4.0.0
• Moved from Gulp to Vite

🧪 Testing & quality

v1.1.0

✨ Internal Improvements

• Refactored core services (e.g., PluginManager, ExtensionHandler) for clarity, modularity, and testability
• Introduced dependency injection across services to decouple components
• Reorganized class structure and namespaces
• Enforced database constraint: namespace in settings table is now NOT NULL
• Added unique index on (namespace, path) to prevent duplicates

🧪 Testing & Quality

• Introduced PHPUnit with 57.75% test coverage
• Integrated PHPStan at strict level 8
