The CakePHP development team is happy to release the alpha build of CakePHP 1.3. We've been hard at work improving upon the already great 1.2 and implementing new features to ease development and increase the flexibility of CakePHP. There have been a number of changes to existing features and its recommended that you review the migration guide[1] for changes in existing classes and features. Also checkout the new features guides[2] for the new features introduced in 1.3. As the 1.3 code branch stabilizes, methods that are currently deprecated and generating errors will be removed. It is therefore important to update the necessary methods to their new names.
If you would like to help with the ongoing development of 1.3, you can do so in a number of ways. Firstly filing clear and concise tickets for any issues with new or existing code helps get the issues resolved. You can also contribute by forking the CakePHP project on code.cakephp.org and implementing features and test cases in your forks. This speeds up development as cherry picking commits is faster and easier than applying patches. The future roadmap places CakePHP 1.3, as a stepping stone towards the also in development CakePHP 2.0 branch which will feature a mostly backwards compatible API. The CakePHP 2.0 branch can be found at http://code.cakephp.org/cakephp2 Finally, we'd like to thank the community for their ongoing support and contributions in making CakePHP as great as it is.
