The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 4.5.0. This is the first stable release of 4.5.0. 4.5.0 provides a number improvements to CakePHP. 4.5.0 introduces a large number of deprecation warnings aimed at assisting with future upgrades to CakePHP 5.0.
You can use composer to upgrade to CakePHP 4.5.0:
php composer.phar require --update-with-dependencies "cakephp/cakephp:4.5.*"
4.5 introduces a few deprecations. All of these features will continue for the duration of 4.x but will be removed in 5.0. See the migration guide.
The migration guide has a complete list of what's new in 4.5.0. We recommend you give that page a read when upgrading. A few highlights from 4.5.0 are:
bin/cake cache clear_group <name> was added. This command gives a CLI interface to clearing a specific cache group.ComponentRegistry is now automatically added to your application's DI container.Controller::addViewClasses() was added. This method lets you build a controller's view classes programatically.read and write connection roles. Connection roles let you scale an application up by using read-replicas. When defining connections, roles can be configured with read and write keys in the connection config that override the shared config.read or write connection role to be used.ModelAwareTrait::fetchModel() was added. This method works similar to loadModel() but does not set the model as an attribute.EntityTrait::$_hasAllowsNull was added. This property allows you to incrementally opt-in to a breaking change present in 5.x for EntityTrait::has().View::addHelper() was added. This method compliments addBehavior() and addComponent().Thank you to all the contributors that helped make 4.5 happen:
As always, a huge thanks to all the community members that helped make this release happen by reporting issues and sending pull requests. 4.5.0 is a large release and would not have been possible without the community support and feedback.
With both 5.0 and 4.5 shipped the core team's focus will be primarily on CakePHP 5.x. Future 4.x releases will be primarily community driven. Feature and bugfix releases for 4.x will continue until September 2025. Security fixes will continue for 4.x until September 2026.
The roadmap for 5.x is still under development. We're interested in making the upgrade from 4.5.0 to 5.0 a smooth one, and would appreciate any feedback you have on upgrade difficulties. Please open an issue and get the discussion started.
