+CakePHP 5.1.0-RC1 Released
+============================
+
+The CakePHP core team is happy to announce the first release candidate for
+CakePHP 5.1.0. The 5.1 release includes several behavior changes to increase
+correctness and new features. The highlights of those include:
+
+- Connection now creates unique read and write drivers if the keys ``read`` or
+  ``write`` are present in the config regardless of values.
+- FormHelper no longer generates ``aria-required`` attributes on input elements
+  that also have the ``required`` attribute set. The ``aria-required`` attribute
+  is redundant on these elements and generates HTML validation warnings. If you
+  are using ``aria-required`` attribute in styling or scripting you'll need to
+  update your application.
+- Adding associations with duplicate names will now raise exceptions. You can
+  use ``$table->associations()->has()`` to conditionally define associations if
+  required.
+- View cells now emit events around their actions ``Cell.beforeAction`` and
+  ``Cell.afterAction``.
+- ``Validation::enum()`` and ``Validator::enum()`` were added. These validation
+  methods simplify validating backed enum values.
+- ``Validation::enumOnly()`` and ``Validation::enumExcept()`` were added to
+  check for specific cases and further simplify validating backed enum values.
+- ``Client`` now emits ``HttpClient.beforeSend`` and ``HttpClient.afterSend``
+  events when requests are sent. You can use these events to perform logging,
+  caching or collect telemetry.
+- ``Http\Server::terminate()`` was added. This method triggers the
+  ``Server.terminate`` event which can be used to run logic after the response
+  has been sent in fastcgi environments. In other environments the
+  ``Server.terminate`` event runs *before* the response has been sent.
+
+
+What's new in 5.1.0
+-------------------
+
+The `migration guide
+<https://book.cakephp.org/5.next/en/appendices/5-1-migration-guide.html>`_ has
+a complete list of what's new in 5.1.0. We recommend you give that page a read
+when upgrading as it notes the behavior changes present in 5.1.0.
+
+How you Can Help
+----------------
+
+You can help deliver 5.1.0 by contributing in one of many ways:
+
+#. Check the `documentation <https://book.cakephp.org/5.next/en/>`_ for mistakes,
+   outdated, unclear or broken examples. We've been trying to update the
+   documentation as we go, but there are likely examples or sections we've
+   missed.
+#. Try it out! Give CakePHP 5.1.0 a test drive. Let us know how upgrading
+   went and if there were any rough spots.
+#. File issues for regressions in existing features, or suggest new features.
+   Even if those features don't make it into 5.1.0, we're early in the process
+   of planning 5.2 and value community feedback.
