CakePHP 1.2 Stable Has Arrived
Some of the best news came yesterday: CakePHP 1.2 Final has been released. First, I want to congratulate all the Cake devs out there that made this happen. We have a lot to look forward to with you guys having accomplished this important milestone.
What this means for the framework, I think in the short run, is some immediate attention. Big releases like these attract notice, and with Cake already having a sizable audience, I expect new users to give Cake a serious go. Which of course means some work for those of us that have contributed to the documentation efforts. I plan on overhauling the Beginning CakePHP book and updating the whole thing immediately for the new release. All of my adjustments will be posted on this site.
Now that we’ve got a solid Cake core to work with, it’s time to put together some killer apps and continue building up the community. I, for one, feel much more confident about advertising the framework, now that massive structural changes to the core have been decided upon and implemented.
Happy baking, all, and have a wonderful New Year!
