+CakePHP 5.2.4
+==============
+
+The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CakePHP
+5.2.4. 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 5.2.4. See the `changelog
+<https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/compare/5.2.3...5.2.4>`_ for every commit.
+
+* Improves foreign key reflection with sqlite to resolve gaps between
+  functionality offered in migrations.
+* Fixed a regression in ``EntityTrait::isModified()``.
+* Fixed PHP warnings being emit when rendering a development error page for
+  ``MissingActionException``.
+* Fixed regressions that broke documented custom message loaders for ``I18n``.
+* CLI options are now coerced to string to avoid type errors
+  with ``ConsoleInputOption:`` constructor.
+* Fixed regression with ``App.base`` configuration not being used.
+* Added the ``clearUsesFlushDb`` option to ``RedisEngine``. When enabled this
+  allows ``clear()`` and ``clearGroup()`` to use ``FLUSHDB``. This option should
+  be used with caution as it will drop all keys in the current redis database.
+* Primary key reflection in SQLServer now retains the primary key name to
+  support primary key operations in migrations.
+* Improved support for mockery, and increased usage of mockery in cakephp's
+  tests.
+* Replaced `PHPUnitConsecutiveTrait::withConsecutive()` with mockery's methods.
