CakePHP 2.0.0-RC3 freshly sliced

The CakePHP core team is proud to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP 2.0.0-RC3[1]. 2.0.0-RC3 marks the end of the release candidates for 2.0.0. If no critical issues arise during the life time of the RC, we should expect a stable release really soon. As usual, mo additional new features or backwards incompatible changes will be made to CakePHP 2.0. Read the changelog[2] or download the release[1].

Since 2.0.0-RC2 there have been 82 commits and 24 tickets resolved. There have been no major features added since the beta release. Some of the changes include:

• Ensured the stability of test cases for the CakePHP core
• Refactored how the joins key for Model::find() is treated, this means the ability to auto add the table prefix for join tables and cleaner code
• Making locking file caching the default. Locking files prevents many issues with unserialize() warnings caused by partially written files.
• Now custom Authorization classes can implement their own password hashing. See this article for a clear example[6]

Documentation efforts are on the good track and we are very happy because of the very valuable contributions from the community. If you feel that anything f the new book is missing or inaccurate please follow send us a patch on github! The API page[6] is already up with the updated method documentation for all CakePHP 2 classes.

We're also happy to see that http://ci.cakephp.org [4] is proving key to ensure the quality of CakePHP releases. This tool allows the team to quickly tests avery change made on the code against all supported datasources. We're proud to announce that this might be the first time in the project's history that absolutely all tests pass uniformly in all supported datasources.

A huge thanks to all involved in terms of both contributions through commits, tickets, documentation edits, and otherwise contribute to the framework. Without you there would be no CakePHP.
