Check out the new release, and some featured swag items. CakePHP 5 Chiffon [View this email in your browser]( CakePHP 5.1.0 RELEASED We know many of you were waiting for it and here's a list of improvements: - RedisEngine now supports TLS connections. - bin/cake plugin list has been added to list plugin metadata. - Optional Command arguments can now have a default value. - BannerHelper was added. This command helper can format text as a banner with a colored background and padding. - Components can now use the DI container to have dependencies resolved and provided as constructor parameters just like Controllers and Commands do. - The toString, toInt, toBool, toDate, and toDateTime functions were added. They give you a typesafe way to cast request data or other input and return null when conversion fails. - pathCombine() was added to help build paths without worrying about duplicate and trailing slashes. - A new events hook was added to the BaseApplication as well as the BasePlugin class. - Support for point, linestring, polygon and geometry types were added to the Database package. - SelectQuery::intersect() and SelectQuery::intersectAll() were added. - Client now emits HttpClient.beforeSend and HttpClient.afterSend events when requests are sent. - Http\Server now emits Server.terminate event 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. - View cells now emit events around their actions Cell.beforeAction and Cell.afterAction. - Validation::enum(), Validator::enum(), Validation::enumOnly(), and Validation::enumExcept() were added to further simplify validating backed enum values. - HtmlHelper can now create a meta tag with the CSRF token in it.
