CakePHP 5.1.6 released

on GitHub

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 5.1.6. This is a maintenance release for the 5.1 branch that fixes several community reported issues and regressions. If you are having problems with the framework breaking your application when you upgrade from 5.0.11 to 5.1, please open an issue.

Bugfixes

You can expect the following changes in 5.1.6. See the changelog for every commit.

• Updated Session::renew() to avoid samesite warnings.
• Errors caused by requests to URLs like index.php?<>? now have error pages rendered instead of empty 500 responses.
• Improved behavior of requireFieldPresence in entities.
• MissingActionException raised in plugins now correctly name the controller + action in the error message.
• Added IPv6 support to datasource DSN parsing.
• Http\Client no longer overwrites an explicit content type with application/x-form-urlencoded when an empty request body is provided.
• FormHelper::postLink() now uses HtmlElement.requestSubmit() instead of .submit(). This allows submit event handlers to intercept requests from postLink() buttons.
