On his PseudoCoder.com blog Matt has posted the fifth edition of the CakePHP Digest - summing up recently CakePHP-related news into one neat package.

This is my third digest and for the first time there isn’t a clear lead story. I was going to go with gwoo’s message that CakePHP 1.2 had received close to 25k downloads in the first 6 days of its release. That works out to 1.5 million downloads extrapolated over a full year. Actual download rate will likely taper off - I just wanted to use the word extrapolate.

Other topics mentioned include:

• Daniel Hofstetter’s framework free agency
• Discussions about whether to accept bugs without test cases
• An article on building The Bakery
• Comparisons to Symfony and the Yii frameworks
• Lots of new content in The Bakery
