The CakePHP core team have just announced the immediate availability of CakePHP 3.9.7. This is a maintenance release for the 3.9 branch that fixes several community reported issues mainly related to routes check, alignment behavior between sprintf and icu message formatters, and between Entity::isEmpty() and Entity::hasValue() to treat ‘0’ as a non-empty value.
In addition to few improvements in API documentation, and support of multiple addresses in Email::setReplyTo(). Four years ago, CakePHP announced that the 3.6 would be the last in the 3.x branch with the possibility of 3.7. Today we have CakePHP 3.9.7 in the 3.x branch and 4.2.4 in the 4.x branch. The version 4 of the framework support PHP 7.4 (min. PHP 7.2) while the version 3 support PHP 7.4 (min. PHP 5.6). While work already started on Cake5, there is no plans yet to support PHP 8.
