CakePHP 3.6 in full swing - have you upgraded?

The time is now, can you feel it?? 
View this email in your browser

CakePHP 3.6 is tasting pretty good!

 

The team recently released CakePHP 3.6. This will probably be the last release of the CakePHP 3 series. We have already started working hard to get CakePHP 4.0 and there is a detailed roadmap available which is kept up to date - check it out and comment! 

CakePHP 3.6 has added a few small features to make your life as a CakePHP developer easier. Some of them include an Improved plugin initialization (based on the recently added Application class), a much better console environment, compact and entity based routing and route cache.

That last one (route caching) makes a huge difference in performance on applications with lots of routes. The team at CakeDC work hard at finding ways of improving the performance of the framework - thanks to the major help contributed by Jorge M. González for getting this feature into production!  


Until next time!

CakePHP 3.6 is the fastest version for REST Api benchmark (2.2x faster than CakePHP 3.5), probably thanks to route cache added in 3.6. Thanks CakeDC!!

Improvements to our Privacy Policy and Privacy Controls

Google
Updating Our Privacy Policy
This month, we're updating our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect and why we collect it. We've also taken steps to improve our Privacy Checkup and other controls we provide to safeguard your data and protect your privacy.
Nothing is changing about your current settings or how your information is processed. Rather, we've improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export, and delete your data.
We're making these updates as new data protection regulations come into effect in the European Union, and we're taking the opportunity to make improvements for Google users around the world.
Making our Privacy Policy easier to understand
Simpler structure & clearer language
We've improved the navigation and organization of the policy to make it easier to find what you're looking for. We've also explained our practices in more detail and with clearer language.
New descriptive videos & illustrations
Often a visual description is easier to understand than text alone, so we've added short videos and illustrations throughout the policy.
Embedded privacy controls
We've made it easier to jump to key settings directly from the policy, helping you make choices about your privacy.
The revised policy is available here and will take effect on May 25, 2018.
Improving your privacy controls
Within the past year, we updated My Activity so that you can better access and manage the data in your Google Account. We also launched a redesigned Dashboard, which allows you to easily see an overview of products you're using and your data associated with them.
This month, we've updated our Privacy Checkup with new illustrations and examples to help you make more informed choices about your key privacy controls. And since we understand that your preferences may change over time, the new Privacy Checkup enables you to sign up for regular reminders to check your privacy settings.
To learn more about these and other controls to manage your privacy, visit your Google Account.
