5.4 Migration Guide

The 5.4.0 release is backwards compatible with 5.0. It adds new functionality and introduces new deprecations. Any functionality deprecated in 5.x will be removed in 6.0.0.

Upgrade Tool

The upgrade tool provides rector rules for automating some of the migration work. Run rector before updating your composer.json dependencies:

bin/cake upgrade rector --rules cakephp54 <path/to/app/src>
