Re: CakePHP + PHP5.3 = ?

Alright guys, it seems like you're all a bit confused.

If you only read one line of this entire post, read this: CakePHP 1.3 !
= Cake3

Now, while this may seem obvious to many, you guys have made the same
mistake that I've seen a few times on the #cakephp channel. The first
is a branch in the cakephp 1.x project, and the last is a completely
different beast altogether.

CakePHP 1.2 supports PHP4 and PHP5.2, inclusively. PHP 5.3 introduced
a few changes to the error handler flags, which we have accounted for
in CakePHP 1.3-dev and will be accounting for in all subsequent
releases.

The reason we are not including PHP 5.3 compatibility in CakePHP 1.2.x
is that we want people to move forward to CakePHP 1.3 & up when they
become stable. If you're willing to update the php *language* to a new
point release and not willing to update your application to a new
framework point release, I think you have a slight disconnect. If you
want, you could always apply the patches that we have committed to 1.3-
dev to a local git branch, and continue on your merry way by merging
in upstream changes from 1.2.x into your local branch.

CakePHP 1.2.x and 1.3.x are in *the same project*, at http://code.cakephp.org/cakephp
. 1.2 and 1.3-dev are simply different branches.

CakePHP 2.0, a *different project*, is *also* being worked on, which
will be PHP 5.2 and up *only*, meaning we're dropping support for
PHP4. See http://code.cakephp.org/cakephp2 to follow along the
development of this project. The goal of this release is to be a
nearly transparent upgrade for anyone running CakePHP 1.3 stable
(whenever that is released), meaning that the two should be pretty
much 100% API compatible.

Finally Cake3 is a *different project*, found at http://code.cakephp.org/cake3.
This is an experimental project which is a complete rewrite of the
CakePHP framework from the ground up, and will *only* support PHP 5.3
and up.

I hope this clears up some of the confusion.
