Migrating from Cake 1.3 to 2.0 and beyond - migrate existing, or only use for new?

Question

I\'m nearling completion of my first CakePHP-driven website and just saw they\'re already working on CakePHP 2.0 (not the stable release yet).

My questions:

Answer 1

I'm migrating an app 1.3»2.0rc1 right now and I got no big trouble.

1. I had to change names of folder/files, eg. app_controller.php » Controller/AppController.php
2. Follow the migration link (tmp link) http://book2.cakephp.org/en/appendices/2-0-migration-guide.html
3. plugins/components/.. from various source won't work (at minus, for point 1)
4. To update the code (which in my case wasn't needed as the app worked well) I've shell-baked a dummy table and looked at differences in code.. It's a good starting point
5. Authentication/Authorization changed in some config, but requires few changes.
6. Trees still working
7. Acl don't. But I'm quite sure it's my fault.

For now it's all, good work!
