This keynote presented in CakeFest 2013 contains a small summary of the things we have been working on for CakePHP 3.0

1. WHAT KEPT US BUSY
A QUICK SUMMARY OF A YEAR WORKING IN CAKEPHP
CakeFest 2013 @jose_zap

2. CAKEPHP IS COMMUNITY DRIVEN
This is both good and bad. There is a slower pace in what we
do, but the result is a consequence of what the community is
actually asking for based of the collective input.

3. WE GROW OLDER, BUT WISER
In general, people working in any organization...

4. JOIN

5. GET PASSIONATE ABOUT IT

6. GET EXPERIENCE

7. GET BORED

8. GET MARRIED, HAVE CHILDREN

9. BECOME BUSIER

10. AND SOME... LEAVE
(sad panda face)

11. THE CORE TEAM
HAVE A CONSTANT DREAM AND A PASSION TO MAKE THINGS BETTER

12. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE THINGS WE
DREAMT ABOUT
and made its way into the code

13. HELLO PHP 5.4

14. NAMESPACES
We hate (wrong slash) but we finally converted the virtual
packages into namespaces
if (strpos($class, '') !== false)
Yes, we'll keep using the plugin syntax and save from writing
things like that

15. NEW UNIFIED CONFIG
Configuration is passed directly to the classes that are
interested about them
Bye, Bye DATABASE_CONFIG

16. COMPOSER SUPPORT OUT OF THE BOX

17. FASTER, BETTER ROUTER
Reverse routing got extremely fast and now it is possible to
have named routes!

18. ROUTING PREFIXES USING NAMESPACES
Instead of UsersController::admin_index() you will have a
separate AdminUsersController::index()

19. FASTER, CONSISTENT AND LEANER EVENT
MANAGER

20. FEATURE RICH HTTPSOCKET CLASS

21. NEW QUERY BUILDER
Create queries using a fluent interface with automatic type
conversion
$union = (new Query($connection))
->select(['id', 'title'])
->from(['a' => 'articles']);
$results = (new Query($connection))
->select(['id', 'comment'])
->from(['c' => 'comments'])
->where(['created >=', new DateTime('1 day ago')])
->union($union)
->execute();

22. SMART SQL DIALECT TRANSLATION
You can use this in both PostgreSQL and MySQL
$query = (new Query($connection))->select(function($q) {
return [
'id',
'full_name' => $q->concat(['first_name', ' ', 'last_name'])
]
});

23. SMART ASSOCIATION EAGER LOADING
This will use a single query
$table = Table::build('author');
$table->hasMany('article', [
'property' => 'articles',
'strategy' => 'subquery',
'sort' => ['article.id' => 'asc']
]);
$results = $table->find('all')->contain('article')->toArray();

24. CHAINABLE CUSTOM FINDERS
Woot!?
$articles->latest()->popular()->list()->toArray();

25. RESULT STREAMING

26. STOPPABLE FINDS
Before find callbacks can stop the query from being executed
and return cached results

27. MAP-REDUCE

28. SCHEMA MIGRATIONS

29. AND MUCH, MUCH MORE

30. WELCOME TO CAKEFEST
This is the right place to figure out where we are heading
