Thanks to the community, there have been 74 bugs closed, 21 issues closed, and 88 merged pull requests. These are all listed in the changelog. This is a small representation of some of the bigger changes you should know about.

Enhancements:

  • The API Response Trait now only determines the final formatting (json/xml) through content negotiation when the controller’s $format variable is null. If it contains either json or xml, then that format will always be returned.

  • Pagination now can actually create next page and previous page links, instead of next/previous groups of links.

  • Windows users wanting to build their own copy of the user guide locally can now use the included make.bat file.

  • Locale matching in the IncomingRequest class now works to match broad groups, like fr even when the browser only supplies a more specific locale code, like fr-FR.

  • Added the ability to have nested language defintions.

  • add ability to replace {locale} to request->getLocale() in form_open(‘action’)

  • tables generated by CLI commands can now be colored.

Bugs Fixed:

  • Deleting through the Model on a table with string primary key now works.

  • Default pagination templates fixed to use the correct locale.

  • Lots of tweaks and corrections in the user guide.

  • Fixed locating files in custom namespaces that were occassionally not found. Primarily affected console commands.
