Re: Upgrade to new Cake PHP version

Generally you can just replace your cake folder with the new one or do
a pull if you use Git.

Unless you were having problems with some specific feature you are
unlikely to notice the changes as they are just to correct for less
common bugs that were not caught in beta. A number of changes to the
core has to do with improving the comments (and therefore the api-
docs) or formatting the core visually. So diff between two versions
might look massive since many files will have been altered without
affecting the functionality.

But as I said before, you should run tests or manually check your app
prior to putting the new version into production.

As an example, the only change that actually affected my main
application was this one:
"Ensuring that 'ext' param added by RequestHandler does not end up as
a queryString parameter in Auth.redirect."
But then I was one of the few that actually noticed this small bug in
the previous version. 99.9% of Cake users did not have the combination
of settings required to show that particular bug and they neither
noticed the bug nor the patch.
