CakeFest Recap!

Updates, releases, and more. CakePHP 5 Chiffon [View this email in your browser]( We had a blast at CakeFest at Technoport in Luxembourg last month! We got to hang out with bakers from all over the world, meet the Passbolt team, and do some sightseeing in Luxembourg. Talk videos are being uploaded later this week, but you can still see the full versions on our YouTube Channel [HERE](. Be sure to subscribe. If you missed it, no worries, we've put together a slideshow to give you even more remorse! [CakePHP 5.1.0-RC2]( Improvements: - 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.

This gives exception handling access to request attributes added by middleware. - FormHelper::unlockFields() no longer raises errors when called without Form tampering protection being active.
