on GitHub

The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the second release candidate of CakePHP 4.1.0. This RC introduces a handful of deprecations. It also adds window function support and common-table-expression support to the ORM. Furthermore, it features improved debug() output, and new ORM events for marshalling.

New Features

The migration guide has a complete list of what's new in 4.1.0. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading as it outlines the deprecations present in 4.1.
