[SHOP HERE]( [CakePHP 5.0.0-RC1]( Highlights: - Added Time extensions with translation integrations. - Adding Time support to the ORM. Going forward time type columns will be mapped to this type. Additionally, date type columns will be mapped to immutable Date objects. - Added support for typed finders. Typed finders allows you to call finders with named parameters and have those named parameters runtime typechecked. This allows for more expressive finders with no additional boilerplate for typechecking. - Upgrade to PHPUnit 10. This was a challenging upgrade for us, and it may be challenging for some applications. If you identify ways that CakePHP could make the combined upgrade easier please [open an issue](. - Improved layout of development error pages. - Continued work on the rector rules for 4.5 and 5.0 Contributors: ADmad, Kevin Pfeifer, Mark Scherer, Mark Story, othercorey [CakePHP 4.4.14]( Highlights: - Implemented SSL XOAUTH2 support in SmtpTransport. This improves compatibility with Microsoft based servers. - Improve API documentation. - Fixed support for postgres schemas other than public in Fixture schema generation. - Validation::utf8() and by extension the Validator::utf8() method as well now fail on invalid UTF8 bytes even when the extended range is enabled. - Fix usage of ROOT in deprecationWarning().
