CakePHP 5.1.0-RC2 released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the second release candidate for CakePHP 5.1.0. Since the RC1 release the core team has added new features, and includes bugfixes from the 5.0 releases. Some of the highlights of this work include:

• CakePHP will no longer check that zend.assertions is enabled in non-debug environments. The related ini setting cannot be controlled at the directory level, and cannot be changed in some shared/cloud hosting environments.
• Fixed BehaviorRegistry::removeBehavior() not clearing method maps.
• Fixed deprecations with PHPUnit 11 and made CakePHP base classes compatible with PHPUnit 11.
• Replaced internal usage of md5 with xxh128. This impacts hashes used for group prefixes in Cache.
• Fixed IntegrationTestTrait::enableCsrfToken() causing GET requests that follow a POST request to fail.
• Added toFloat(), toInt(), toString(), toBool(), toDateTime(), toDate() and toBool() to make it more ergonomic to convert request data into type-safe values.
• The new casting functions are used by ControllerFactory to cast parameters for controller actions.
• Components can now leverage the dependency injection container in their constructors.
• Console\Argument::hasArgument() no longer raises errors when arguments are undefined.
• ResultSetDecorator is no longer used internally by the ORM. Instead ResultSet is used directly.
• Added support for geospatial types of GEOMETRY, POLYGON, POINT, and LINESTRING for database drivers that support them and emulated support for SQLite.
• The request returned by Router::getRequest() will now be updated after each middleware is processed, improving request mutations in error pages.
• The default valueSeparator for find(list) is now a space instead of ;. This makes results more useful for interfaces.

What's new in 5.1.0

The migration guide has a complete list of what's new in 5.1.0. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading as it notes the behavior changes present in 5.1.0.

How you Can Help

You can help deliver 5.1.0 by contributing in one of many ways:

1. Check the documentation <https://book.cakephp.org/5.next/en/>_ for mistakes, outdated, unclear or broken examples. We've been trying to update the documentation as we go, but there are likely examples or sections we've missed.
2. Try it out! Give CakePHP 5.1.0 a test drive. Let us know how upgrading went and if there were any rough spots.
3. File issues for regressions in existing features, or suggest new features. Even if those features don't make it into 5.1.0, we're early in the process of planning 5.2 and value community feedback.

CakePHP 5.1.0-RC1 released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the first release candidate for CakePHP 5.1.0. The 5.1 release includes several behavior changes to increase correctness and new features. The highlights of those include:

• Connection now creates unique read and write drivers if the keys read or write are present in the config regardless of values.
• FormHelper no longer generates aria-required attributes on input elements that also have the required attribute set. The aria-required attribute is redundant on these elements and generates HTML validation warnings. If you are using aria-required attribute in styling or scripting you'll need to update your application.
• Adding associations with duplicate names will now raise exceptions. You can use $table->associations()->has() to conditionally define associations if required.
• View cells now emit events around their actions Cell.beforeAction and Cell.afterAction.
• Validation::enum() and Validator::enum() were added. These validation methods simplify validating backed enum values.
• Validation::enumOnly() and Validation::enumExcept() were added to check for specific cases and further simplify validating backed enum values.
• Client now emits HttpClient.beforeSend and HttpClient.afterSend events when requests are sent. You can use these events to perform logging, caching or collect telemetry.
• Http\Server::terminate() was added. This method triggers the Server.terminate event which can be used to run logic after the response has been sent in fastcgi environments. In other environments the Server.terminate event runs before the response has been sent.
