The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 5.2.9. This is a maintenance release for the 5.2 branch that fixes several community reported issues and regressions.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 5.2.9. See the changelog for every commit.

• Improve PHPUnit usage in tests.
• Fixed DI integration for Components.
• Type annotations for LocatorAwareTrait::fetchTable() have been improved so that IDEs / static analyzer can now recognize the specific table type for the returned value, when the method is called with FQCN.
• Fixed default value reflection and for SQLite boolean columns.
• Fixed how Socket detects connection interruptions, by deprecating $connected property, and using is_resource() instead. This should improve behavior of SmtpTransport in long running processes.
• Improved typehints for SelectQuery.

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 5.2.8. This is a maintenance release for the 5.2 branch that fixes several ,community reported issues and regressions. 5.2.8 also contains a fix for a potential security issue in the query builder. When using already executed queries as subquery expressions, bound parameter values were overwritten which could lead to inccorrect query results. Other usage of subqueries are not impacted.

I'd like to welcome josbeir to the CakePHP team. They have been actively been developing a refesh of the documentation. You can see a development preview of the documentation at newbook.cakephp.org. If you have any feedback about the new documentation site, please open an issue in GitHub.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 5.2.8. See the changelog for every commit.

• Improved type checks and null coalescing operator usage.
• Fixed route generation when routes are defined with null prefix values.
• Improved type annotations in collection classes.
• Fixed more compatibility issues with PHP 8.5.
• Fixed loading nested associations with Table::loadInto().
• Fixed usage of lock option for PaginatorHelper::sort().
• Fixed an access before initialization in RedisEngine.

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 5.2.7. This is a maintenance release for the 5.2 branch that fixes several community reported issues and regressions.

Bugfixes

  default.

• Fixed flaky tests for Arabic-Indic numeral output.
• Fixed hidden validation messages in nested entities from validation and domain rule failures. Now validation errors are available for nested entities in the _rule key.
• XML from Xml::fromArray() is now validated before being returned. This prevents invalid XML from being generated by invalid input. Now an XmlException will be thrown.
• Updated for PHP 8.5 deprecations.
• Cleaned up plugin configuration after test runs.
• Fixed column comment quoting in the MySQL schema dialect.
• Implemented missing support for QueryExpression as schema column defaults. This was a porting gap when moving code from migrations to cakephp/database.

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 5.2.4. This is a maintenance release for the 5.2 branch that fixes several community reported issues and regressions.

Bugfixes

• Improved support for mockery, and increased usage of mockery in cakephp's tests.
• Replaced PHPUnitConsecutiveTrait::withConsecutive() with mockery's methods.

Note: For the getBehavior() type annotations @extends to not cause any issues, make sure that each intermediate Table class between core and final app/plugin Table classes have the same annotation added:

@template TBehaviors of array<string, \Cake\ORM\Behavior> = array{}

This prevents any errors such as

ERROR: MissingTemplateParam ... SomeTable has missing template params when extending Cake\ORM\Table
