The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP [2.5.6](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases/2.5.6) and [2.6.0-RC1](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases/2.6.0-RC1). 2.5.6 is a bugfix release for the 2.5 release series, while 2.6.0-RC1 is beta release of the upcoming 2.6.0 release. A list of the changes you can expect in 2.5.6 are:
* CakeSession::read() returns null on all failure cases. * Model::isUnique() now works as validator for multiple fields. * CakeTestCase::getMockForModel() now injects the test datasource for all connection names. * Digest Auth now handles `&`, `?` in digest auth data. * FormHelper no longer generates a hidden input for disabled mulitple checkbox inputs. * Folder::create() now handles relative paths. * Stack traces now output more context on exceptions. * Fatal errors now include stack traces if xdebug is enabled. * Virtual fields no longer incorrectly replace `IN` clauses. ## Changes in 2.6.0-RC In addition to the changes in 2.5.6, 2.6.0-RC contains the following changes: * `Hash::merge()` and `Hash::expand()` are now more performant. * `TranslateBehavior` properly handles the atomic flag. * Redis Engine now includes a default prefix based on your application directory. * MySQL schema reflection includes comment support now. * `CakeRoute::__set_state` was added. This helps make it easier to cache routes with `var_export`. * `CakeResponse::file()` accepts ranges even when the download option is set to `false`. * `AuthComponent` now has a `userFields` option which allows you to limit which fields are loaded into the session. * `PaginatorHelper::meta()` has been added. This method helps you easily generate meta tags containing pagination information. If there are no blocking issues found in the RC release we expect to have a stable 2.6.0 release ready in 3 or 4 weeks. A huge thanks to all involved in terms of both contributions through commits, tickets, documentation edits, and those whom have otherwise contributed to the framework. -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
