+CakePHP 3.1.7 Released
+======================
+
+The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 3.1.7. This is a maintenance release for the 3.1 branch that fixes several community reported issues.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+You can expect the following changes in 3.1.7. See the `changelog <http://cakephp.org/changelogs/3.1.7>`_ for every commit.
+
+* ``Paginator::numbers()`` now treats numeric string values in ``first`` and ``last`` as strings.
+* Using invalid associations in ExistsIn rules now raises a helpful error.
+* BelongsToMany associations can have their fields limited through queryBuilder closures.
+* The ``$query->func()->now()`` query function works as expected in where conditions now.
+* ``XmlView`` no longer fails when attempting to output XML documents built with DOMDocument.
+* BelongsToMany ``_joinData`` is now marshalled consistently by ``Table::patchEntity()``.
+* Missing Controller error pages display the correct class name and path for prefixed controllers.
+
+Minor Enhancements
+------------------
+
+* ``IntegrationTestCase::cookieEncrypted()`` was added. This helper lets you set the value of encrypted cookies.
+* ``IntegrationTestCase::assertCookieEncrypted()`` was added. This assertion lets you compare encrypted cookie values.
+* FormHelper now forwards ``templateVars`` to the templates for ``submitContainer`` and ``inputSubmit``.
+* ``Collection::chunk()`` was added. This method lets you split a collection into equal sized chunks.
+* Exception classes were added for Conflict (409), Gone (410), Not Acceptable (406) and Service Unavailable (506).
+* ``Configure::readOrFail()`` was added. This method will read a value from Configure and raise an exception if it does not exist.
+
+As always, a huge thanks to all the community members that helped make this release happen by reporting issues and sending pull requests.
