CakePHP 2.5.0 approaching

[mark_story]

This is just a reminder that the target date for 2.5.0 is quickly approaching (fewer than 20 days left). I'm hoping to get the RC release out on March 23rd as planned.

If you have any features/pull requests you'd like to see be part of 2.5 try and get the ball moving on those.

I want to point out the two possible issues (and potential regressions) in the 2.5 core again that we need to take a closer look at before we release it:

 - Model refactoring around DboSource: https://github.com/CakeDC/search/issues/119

   The travis build shows clearly that something changed there from 2.4 to 2.5 that now makes passing builds fail.

- Session refactoring around "not starting session when not necessary".

   The travis build of my plugin shows that this happened around that refactoring:

    https://travis-ci.org/dereuromark/tools/builds/17989735 (success) vs https://travis-ci.org/dereuromark/tools/builds/18195132 (fail)

    Adding a manual CakeSession::write() call prior to using CakeSession::delete() fixes it again, but that hack sure can't be the solution

We should avoid those regressions in 2.x if possible as other applications could also run into that and will face the same hacking necessities then.

I wasn't aware of those regressions. I can look into fixing them, as I don't think those are intended side effects of the original changes.

I don't see a typehint on the 2nd argument to generateAssociationQuery anymore, so I think this issue has been fixed. I'll look into the session issue tomorrow.

Strange, this is from just now: https://travis-ci.org/CakeDC/search/builds/20419106

Unless travis checks some other branch, the 2.5 branch is still in question here
