Is CakePHP modeled after Ruby on Rails?

I haven't used Rails, but I'm somewhat familiar with it. I'm more familiar with CakePHP. I get the idea that CakePHP is modeled after Rails, and they seem to have a lot in common.

But, basically, I'd like to know if patterning itself after Rails is, or has ever been, one of the goals of CakePHP? I understand it's not a port, but is Rails the...inspiration, so to speak?

And while I'm sure the answer is probably a qualified "yes", I haven't been able to find anything on the CakePHP site(s) to support that. So...citation needed :)
