As all know on cakephp.org annonced pre beta build of 1.2 branch.

I want to write about last changes in Model::find method.

Now possible to call it even instead of findAll and findCount methods with next syntaxes

 findAll($conditions, $fields, $order, $limit, $page, $recursive) is the same as
find(’all’, array(’conditions’ => $conditions, ‘fields’ => $fields, ‘order’=> $order, ‘limit’=> $limit, ‘page’=> $page, ‘recursive’=> $recursive));

 find($conditions, $fields, $order, $limit, $page, $recursive) is the same as
find(’first’, array(’conditions’ => $conditions, ‘fields’ => $fields, ‘order’=> $order, ‘limit’=> $limit, ‘page’=> $page, ‘recursive’=> $recursive));

 function findCount($conditions, $recursive) is the same as
find(’count’, array(’conditions’ => $conditions, ‘recursive’=> $recursive));
