Hi comunity, I’m starting a new project in the next few days where I’ll use cakephp as a backend api for an app. Should I use 3.6 or 3.7RC already? About 4.0, this won’t be released this year I assume?
Thanks
Depending on what function your project will fulfill, you can decide which version you can use.
- is it for production (eg. your business relying on it)? use
3.6as it’s the currentstablebranch. - is it to test new features (or just a project that has no real value outside of fun or a demo)? then use
3.7RC, as it’s aRelease Candidate(a.k.a should be stable in a while). - is it to help the development of
4.x(or just a project that may break all over the place due to bugs or glitches)? well… then use4.0obviously.
Personally, I’d stick with the stable branches as much as possible unless I have a specific reason for using a non-stable branch (which is extremely rarely for me).

Thank you, I’ll stick with 3.6 then.
