+CakePHP 5.2.7
+==============
+
+The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP
+5.2.7. This is a maintenance release for the 5.2 branch that fixes several
+community reported issues and regressions.
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+You can expect the following changes in 5.2.7. See the `changelog
+<https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/compare/5.2.6...5.2.7>`_ for every commit.
+
+* Fixed regression where added rules were enabled for delete operations by
+  default.
+* Updated ``Validation::uuid()`` to accept V7 UUIDs.
+* Fixed array value handling in ``getEnv()``.
+* Fixed flaky tests for Arabic-Indic numeral output.
+* Fixed hidden validation messages in nested entities from validation and domain
+  rule failures. Now validation errors are available for nested entities in the
+  ``_rule`` key.
+* XML from ``Xml::fromArray()`` is now validated before being returned. This
+  prevents invalid XML from being generated by invalid input. Now an
+  ``XmlException`` will be thrown.
+* Updated for PHP 8.5 deprecations.
+* Cleaned up plugin configuration after test runs.
+* Fixed column comment quoting in the MySQL schema dialect.
+* Implemented missing support for ``QueryExpression`` as schema column defaults.
+  This was a porting gap when moving code from migrations to cakephp/database.
