As expected since the the changes that were made within the core team a few weeks ago, a final release candidate of CakePHP 1.2 is very imminent. It has just been announced on the Bakery, that a stable version will be arriving very soon. In fact, I have it on good authority that the first release candidate could be available as early as next week.

There has been a lot more activity on IRC and within the Changesets recently, so hats off to all involved, and the Cake Book is becoming so much better every time I see it.

But, as emphasized in the official announcement on Tim and Felix’s blog, we need help to squash those remaining bugs. Please join us in the newly created IRC room: #cakephp-dv on freenode.net and offer your assistance however you can.

Here’s to a bright future.
