 <h2>Version 2.0.3</h2>
 <p>Release Date: August 20, 2011</p>

 <ul>
 	<li>Security
 		<ul>
 			<li>An improvement was made to the MySQL and MySQLi drivers to prevent exposing a potential vector for SQL injection on sites using multi-byte character sets in the database client connection.  <p>An incompatibility in PHP versions &lt; 5.2.3 and MySQL &lt; 5.0.7 with <em>mysql_set_charset()</em> creates a situation where using multi-byte  character sets on these environments may potentially expose a SQL injection attack vector.  Latin-1, UTF-8, and other "low ASCII" character sets are unaffected on all environments.</p>  <p class="critical">If you are running or considering running a multi-byte character set for your database connection, please pay close attention to the server environment you are deploying on to ensure you are not vulnerable.</p></li>
 		</ul>

 			<li>Added Active Record caching feature to "update" and "delete" functions.</li>

 <h2>Version 1.3</h2>
 <p>Release Date: April 3, 2006</p>

 <ul>
 <li>Added support for <a href="models.html">Models</a>.</li>
 <li>Redesigned the database libraries to support additional RDBMs (Postgres, MySQLi, etc.).</li>
 <li>Redesigned the <a href="./database/active_record.html">Active Record class</a> to enable more varied types of queries with simpler syntax, and advanced features like JOINs.</li>
 <li>Added a feature to the database class that lets you run <a href="./database/call_function.html">custom function calls</a>.</li>
 <li>Added support for <a href="controllers.html">private functions</a> in your controllers.  Any controller function name that starts with an underscore will not be served by a URI request.</li>
 <li>Added the ability to pass your own initialization parameters to your <a href="creating_libraries.html">custom core libraries</a> when using $this->load->library()</li>
 <li>Added support for running standard <a href="urls.html">query string URLs</a>.  These can be optionally enabled in your config file.</li>
 <li>Added the ability to  <a href="urls.html">specify a "suffix"</a>, which will be appended to your URLs.  For example, you could add .html to your URLs, making them appear static. This feature is enabled in your config file.</li>
 <li>Added a new error template for use with native PHP errors.</li>
 <li>Added "alternator" function in the <a href="./helpers/string_helper.html">string helpers</a>.</li>
 <li>Removed slashing from the input class. After much debate we decided to kill this feature.</li>
 <li>Change the commenting style in the scripts to the PEAR standard so that IDEs and tools like phpDocumenter can harvest the comments.</li>
 <li>Added better class and function name-spacing to avoid collisions with user developed classes. All CodeIgniter classes are now prefixed with <dfn>CI_</dfn> and
 all controller methods are prefixed with <dfn>_ci</dfn> to avoid controller collisions. A list of reserved function names can be <a href="controllers.html">found here</a>.</li>
 <li>Redesigned how the "CI" super object is referenced, depending on whether PHP 4 or 5 is being run, since PHP 5 allows a more graceful way to manage objects that utilizes a bit less resources.</li>
 <li>Deprecated: <var>$this->db->use_table()</var> has been deprecated. Please read the <a href="./database/active_record.html">Active Record</a> page for information.</li>
 <li>Deprecated: <var>$this->db->smart_escape_str()</var> has been deprecated. Please use this instead: <var>$this->db->escape()</var></li>
 <li>Fixed a bug in the exception handler which was preventing some PHP errors from showing up.</li>
 <li>Fixed a typo in the URI class.  $this->total_segment() should be plural: $this->total_segments()</li>
 <li>Fixed some typos in the default calendar template</li>
 <li>Fixed some typos in the user guide</li>
 </ul>

 <ul>
