CakePHP 3.1.0-beta 发布，此版本添加了一些新特性：Mailers 可以创建可复用的邮件；Templates 额外的模版变量；Shell Helpers 等等。

ORM 增强

• Lazy Eager Loading

• Additional Filtering Methods

CakePHP 3.0 重要改进：

• FlashComponent now stacks Flash messages when set with the set() or __call() method.
  

• New config storage has been added.
  

• RequestHandlerComponent now switches the layout and template based on the parsed extension or Accept-Type header in the beforeRender()callback instead of startup().

• The default mime type used when sending requests has changed in Http\Client.
  

其他改进

• The default route class has been changed to DashedRoute in the cakephp/app repo. Your current code base is not affected by this, but it is recommended to use this route class from now on.

• The breakpoint() helper function has been added. This function provides a snippet of code that can be put into eval() to trigger an interactive console.

• Shell::dispatchShell() no longer outputs the welcome message from the dispatched shell.

• You can now set _serialized to true for JsonView and XmlView to serialize all view variables instead of explicitly specifying them.

• Time::fromNow() has been added. This method makes it easier to calculate differences from 'now'.

• Time::i18nFormat() now supports non-gregorian calendars when formatting dates.

废弃

• The SessionHelper has been deprecated. You can use $this->request->session() directly.
