CakePHP Migrations 1.6.4 released

• A new option --data has been added to the bake seed command that will allow you to export data from an existing table. (#191, #260). More informations about the feature will be available soon in the cookbook.
• Migrations CLI commands exceptions thrown by the business layer are not caught anymore. (#258 / #261).
• All "*_phinxlog" tables are now skipped when baking a diff (#263 / #267).
• When baking a migration, default values are now treated as strings : this prevents localized typecast to build erroring migration files (#266, #270).

CakePHP Migrations 1.6.3 released

• Add support for specifying a nullable field when baking a migration. You can now use a question mark after the field type to tell bake that you want this field to be nullable. Here is an example :

# `description` and `age` fields will be nullable
bin/cake bake migration CreatePerson name:string description:string? age:integer?

(Issue #203 / PR #249)

• When a dump file is generated, all tables in the database will be added to it. This is to prevent migrations diff to be include tables already in registered in the database (Issue #232 / PR #248)

CakePHP Migrations 1.6.2 released

• Seeders can now call other seeders. More details in the Cookbook : http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/migrations.html#calling-a-seeder-from-another-seeder (Issue #212 - PR #236)
• When a migrations command errors, the exit code is now at least 1 (Issue #215 - PR #224)
• When the table name is fetched from the Table classes (when using the require-table option when baking snapshot for instance), before being instanciated, the Table class is reflected to see if it instanciable. This prevents potential user-land abstract classes to be loaded and throwing exception (Issue #229 - PR #231)
• Fix the diff baking template (Issue #233 - PR #234)
• Fix an issue where a property was missing for the dump command to properly work in some cases. (Issue #239 - PR #241).

CakePHP Migrations 1.6.1 released

• Fixed a regression introduced in 1.6.0 into the migration baking process when supplying multiple fields to add in the migration
• Fixed the diff generation with simpler diff that could create invalid code

CakePHP Migrations 1.6.0 released

• Add a feature that will allow you to bake a diff between two database states (#217). More infos on the feature and how to use it available in the cookbook
• Add the name of the migrations to create in the console option parser of baking task. (#222)

As always, a huge thanks to all the community members that helped make this release happen by reporting issues and sending pull requests.

CakePHP Migrations 1.5.8 released

• The table metadata cache is now disabled when using the plugin to avoid exceptions about non-existing columns when a column was added by a migration directly followed by an insert or an update (#201)
• Bump support to phinx 0.5.3 (#205, #210)
• Add support for two new features of phinx 0.5.2 : the new status command output (including the name of the migrations) and the fulltext indexes support (for MySQL 5.6+ only) (#206)
• Improve support for boolean type in baked snapshot (#208)
• When using the Migrations class, the Environment is reset when the config is changed to avoid reading in the wrong phinxlog table (#209)
• The MigrationsHelper now uses the cached version of table metadata. This could increase performance when baking snapshots. (#219)

As always, a huge thanks to all the community members that helped make this release happen by reporting issues and sending pull requests.

CakePHP Migrations 1.5.7 released

• Simple indexes are now correctly added when baking a snapshot (#192).
• When using the require-table option or baking a snapshot for a plugin, if your Table objects added the schema name to the table name (using $this->table('myschema.mytable') for instance), the resulting table name in the migration file is now correctly handled (#195).
• The unsigned attribute is now correctly added when baking a snapshot (#198). (Database vendors do not all support this the same way : make sure to read the documentation of the database vendor you are using for more details).
