The amazing world of CakePHP is known for continually improving its stature and asserting its presence. Its virtues come out strongly with its definitive updates. The CakePHP team makes it abundantly clear that the prolific platform will continue its winning streak with increasingly scalable definitions and resource-packed projects.

The team recently announced the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.3.0-beta. This latest version of CakePHP includes feature-packed security and performance proposals. Let’s see how it will make your life easier and better.

With CakePHP 2.3.0-beta, developers will now be able to easily define CACHE and LOGS, as CakePHP now defines them conditionally. This means that CakePHP developers don’t have to apply any code to create logs and caches, and would now be automatically generated by the system. This will allow programmers to get the necessary data simply by applying the FETCH command.

Now with the new updated version, caching would make it easier for developers to configure CakePHP. This makes APC easier to configure and deploy.

Few nifty components have been added to the architecture to add value to already existing modules. To support blowfish/bcrypt hashed passwords, an AUTHENTICATION ADAPTER has been implemented that would allow you to use the bcrypt passwords in your $authenticate array. This feature has also been extended to serve authentication access by blocking users with stateless authentication.

Another component added to the new version is the PAGINATOR which offers the ‘FIND’ TYPE option. This can be used to specify the ‘find’ method for Pagination. This is something that would really help developers to Paginate in a fast and effortless way.

Another important component added to the new version of Cake is based on security. Security will now support the ACTIONS UNLOCKED option which can be used to disable all security controls related to any particular action.

Two more components added in this version include COOKIE COMPONENT and HANDLER COMPONENT. Cookie Component offers similar features to CakeSession. The new Handler component provides the user with the ability to request the mapping of a content type to see a class name.

CakePHP application development is going to see great results with these improvements to the component architecture. This can really add value to the way tasks are handled and the speed at which they are executed.

Another notable feature enablement that will change your experience of working with CakePHP includes the VALIDATION system. Validation updates will ensure that the system notifies you by triggering errors on any non-validation events.

Some major updates like adding SERVER SHELL to the console, extensible kernel EXCEPTIONS, FULL-TEXT INDEX support, ENABLE CRYPTO method, Cake RESPONSE and REQUEST along with other smart details will make it even easier and faster for CakePHP developers to interact with the platform.

These updates are sure to bring remarkable value to CakePHP development. The impact will be seen soon with more and more applications built and customized on this great platform. This will be the most profitable venture for developers by allowing them to build the projects in a comprehensive, fast, effective and sustainable manner.
