CakePHP 3.7.0-RC1 Released

The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 3.7.0-RC1. This is the release candidate for 3.7.0, and it contains several new major features. If no major issues are reported a stable release will be packaged in a few weeks.

3.7 is the last planned minor release of CakePHP 3.x before 4.0 is released. Once 4.0 is released, 2.x will only receive security fixes, and 3.x will only continue to receive bug & security fix releases. If there is significant community interest there may be a 3.8 release, but there are no plans at this point in time.

Updating to the RC You can use composer to upgrade to the beta version of CakePHP 3.7.0: php composer . phar require -- update - with - dependencies "cakephp/cakephp:3.7.0-RC1" We would greatly appreciate it if you temporarily upgraded your application, and ran your tests. By opening issues for any regressions in the release candidate, we can help ensure a smoother release of 3.7.0 before the stable release.

What’s new in 3.7.0? The migration guide has a complete list of what’s new in 3.7.0, and what has been deprecated. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading.
