Code / Software / Development CakePHP 5 Chiffon application, code, database and software migration of CakePHP to the new version 5

What is new in version 5?

Since CakePHP 5 brings a number of changes between version 4 and 5, we have created a detailed migration guide that covers all the deprecated and removed features and also highlights the new features.

The migration guide contains a complete list of new features. We recommend that you review this list with us before upgrading. A few highlights of CakePHP 5 included

  1. PHP 8.1 required
  2. Improved typehints throughout the framework. CakePHP now uses union types to formalize the types of many parameters throughout the framework.
  3. Upgraded to PHPUnit 10.x
  4. New enum type mapping support in ORM, enabling more expressive model layers with improved type checking.
  5. Table searchers with named parameters that provide more expressive APIs for creating queries.
  6. Added Time-only Time type and greatly improved support for Date and DateTime via chronos 3.x.
  7. Support for PSR17 HTTP factories was added.
