252Version 2.0.3
253=============
254
255Release Date: August 20, 2011
256
257- Security
258
259 - An improvement was made to the MySQL and MySQLi drivers to prevent
260 exposing a potential vector for SQL injection on sites using
261 multi-byte character sets in the database client connection.
262 An incompatibility in PHP versions < 5.2.3 and MySQL < 5.0.7 with
263 *mysql_set_charset()* creates a situation where using multi-byte
264 character sets on these environments may potentially expose a SQL
265 injection attack vector. Latin-1, UTF-8, and other "low ASCII"
266 character sets are unaffected on all environments.
267
268 If you are running or considering running a multi-byte character
269 set for your database connection, please pay close attention to
270 the server environment you are deploying on to ensure you are not
271 vulnerable.
272

342 $this->db->select_min(), etc could throw notices. Thanks to w43l for
343 the patch.
344- Replace checks for STDIN with php_sapi_name() == 'cli' which on the
345 whole is more reliable. This should get parameters in crontab
346 working.

465 - Scaffolding, having been deprecated for a number of versions, has
466 been removed.
467 - Plugins have been removed, in favor of Helpers. The CAPTCHA plugin
468 has been converted to a Helper and
469 :doc:`documented <./helpers/captcha_helper>`. The JavaScript
470 calendar plugin was removed due to the ready availability of great
471 JavaScript calendars, particularly with jQuery.

484 - Added $config['directory_trigger'] to the config file so that a
485 controller sub-directory can be specified when running _GET
486 strings instead of URI segments.
487 - Added ability to set "Package" paths - specific paths where the
488 Loader and Config classes should try to look first for a requested
489 file. This allows distribution of sub-applications with their own
490 libraries, models, config files, etc. in a single "package"
491 directory. See the :doc:`Loader class <libraries/loader>`
492 documentation for more details.
493 - In-development code is now hosted at

Derek Jones8ede1a22011-10-05 13:34:52 -0500499 now be set without an extension, the extension will be taken from
500 the uploaded file instead of the given name.
501 - In :doc:`Database Forge <database/forge>` the name can be omitted
502 from $this->dbforge->modify_column()'s 2nd param if you aren't

529 that one can specify the object to look for requested methods,
530 instead of assuming it is in the $CI superobject.
531 - Added "is_object" into the list of unit tests capable of being
532 run.
533 - Table library will generate an empty cell with a blank string, or
534 NULL value.

558 preceding trail of empty folders when creating a Zip archive. This
559 example would contain a zip with "directory" and all of its
560 contents.
561 - Added ability in the Image Library to handle PNG transparency for
562 resize operations when using the GD lib.
563 - Modified the Session class to prevent use if no encryption key is

624 by default so as to encourage responsible use (this function can
625 cause server performance issues when used without caution).

655
656 - Added an optional second parameter to show_404() to disable
657 logging.
658 - Updated loader to automatically apply the sub-class prefix as an

988 Class <libraries/form_validation>`. It simplifies setting
989 rules and field names, supports arrays as field names, allows
990 groups of validation rules to be saved in a config file, and adds
991 some helper functions for use in view files. **Please note that
992 the old Validation class is now deprecated**. We will leave it in
993 the library folder for some time so that existing applications
994 that use it will not break, but you are encouraged to migrate to
995 the new version.
996 - Updated the :doc:`Sessions class <libraries/sessions>` so that
997 any custom data being saved gets stored to a database rather than
998 the session cookie (assuming you are using a database to store
999 session data), permitting much more data to be saved.
1000 - Added the ability to store libraries in subdirectories within
1001 either the main "libraries" or the local application "libraries"
1002 folder. Please see the :doc:`Loader class <libraries/loader>` for

1019 :doc:`File Upload Class <libraries/file_uploading>`.
1020 - Added set_status_header() function to :doc:`Output
1021 class <libraries/output>`.

1026 Validation <libraries/form_validation>` class so that
1027 multi-byte languages will calculate string lengths properly.

1031 - Improved Active Record class to allow full path column and table
1032 names: hostname.database.table.column. Also improved the alias
1033 handling.

1037 functions.
1038 - Added removal of non-printing control characters in escape_str()
1039 of DB drivers that do not have native PHP escaping mechanisms
1040 (mssql, oci8, odbc), to avoid potential SQL errors, and possible
1041 sources of SQL injection.
1042 - Added port support to MySQL, MySQLi, and MS SQL database drivers.
1043 - Added driver name variable in each DB driver, based on bug report
1044 #4436.
1045
1046- Helpers
1047
1048 - Added several new "setting" functions to the :doc:`Form
1049 helper <helpers/form_helper>` that allow POST data to be
1050 retrieved and set into forms. These are intended to be used on
1051 their own, or with the new :doc:`Form Validation
1052 Class <libraries/form_validation>`.
1053 - Added current_url() and uri_segments() to :doc:`URL
1054 helper <helpers/url_helper>`.
1055 - Altered auto_link() in the :doc:`URL
1056 helper <helpers/url_helper>` so that email addresses with
1057 "+" included will be linked.
1058 - Added meta() function to :doc:`HTML
1059 helper <helpers/html_helper>`.
1060 - Improved accuracy of calculations in :doc:`Number

1068 world's current time zones and offsets.
1069 - Modified url_title() in the :doc:`URL
1070 helper <helpers/url_helper>` to remove characters and digits
1071 that are part of character entities, to allow dashes, underscores,
1072 and periods regardless of the $separator, and to allow uppercase
1073 characters.
1074 - Added support for arbitrary attributes in anchor_popup() of the
1075 :doc:`URL helper <helpers/url_helper>`.
1076
1077- Other Changes
1078
1079 - Added :doc:`PHP Style Guide <./general/styleguide>` to docs.
1080 - Added sanitization in xss_clean() for a deprecated HTML tag that
1081 could be abused in user input in Internet Explorer.
1082 - Added a few openxml document mime types, and an additional mobile
1083 agent to mimes.php and user_agents.php respectively.
1084 - Added a file lock check during caching, before trying to write to
1085 the file.
1086 - Modified Cookie key cleaning to unset a few troublesome key names
1087 that can be present in certain environments, preventing CI from
1088 halting execution.
1089 - Changed the output of the profiler to use style attribute rather
1090 than clear, and added the id "codeigniter_profiler" to the
1091 container div.

2108
2109Version 1.3.3
2110=============
2111
2112Release Date: June 1, 2006
2113
2114- Models do **not** connect automatically to the database as of this
2115 version. :doc:`More info here <./general/models>`.
2116- Updated the Sessions class to utilize the active record class when
2117 running session related queries. Previously the queries assumed MySQL
2118 syntax.
2119- Updated alternator() function to re-initialize when called with no
2120 arguments, allowing multiple calls.
2121- Fixed a bug in the active record "having" function.
2122- Fixed a problem in the validation class which was making checkboxes
2123 be ignored when required.
2124- Fixed a bug in the word_limiter() helper function. It was cutting
2125 off the fist word.
2126- Fixed a bug in the xss_clean function due to a PHP bug that affects
2127 some versions of html_entity_decode.
2128- Fixed a validation bug that was preventing rules from being set twice
2129 in one controller.
2130- Fixed a calendar bug that was not letting it use dynamically loaded
2131 languages.
2132- Fixed a bug in the active record class when using WHERE clauses with
2133 LIKE

2135- Fixed some typos.
2136

2138=============
2139
2140Release Date: April 17, 2006
2141
2142- Changed the behavior of the validation class such that if a
2143 "required" rule is NOT explicitly stated for a field then all other
2144 tests get ignored.
2145- Fixed a bug in the Controller class that was causing it to look in
2146 the local "init" folder instead of the main system one.
2147- Fixed a bug in the init_pagination file. The $config item was not
2148 being set correctly.
2149- Fixed a bug in the auto typography helper that was causing
2150 inconsistent behavior.
2151- Fixed a couple bugs in the Model class.
2152- Fixed some documentation typos and errata.
2153
2154Version 1.3.1
2155=============
2156
2157Release Date: April 11, 2006
2158
2159- Added a :doc:`Unit Testing Library <./libraries/unit_testing>`.
2160- Added the ability to pass objects to the **insert()** and
2161 **update()** database functions. This feature enables you to (among
2162 other things) use your :doc:`Model class <./general/models>`
2163 variables to run queries with. See the Models page for details.
2164- Added the ability to pass objects to the :doc:`view loading
2165 function <./general/views>`: $this->load->view('my_view',
2166 $object);
2167- Added getwhere function to :doc:`Active Record
2168 class <./database/active_record>`.
2169- Added count_all function to :doc:`Active Record
2170 class <./database/active_record>`.
2171- Added language file for scaffolding and fixed a scaffolding bug that
2172 occurs when there are no rows in the specified table.
2173- Added :doc:`$this->db->last_query() <./database/queries>`, which
2174 allows you to view your last query that was run.
2175- Added a new mime type to the upload class for better compatibility.
2176- Changed how cache files are read to prevent PHP errors if the cache
2177 file contains an XML tag, which PHP wants to interpret as a short
2178 tag.
2179- Fixed a bug in a couple of the active record functions (where and
2180 orderby).
2181- Fixed a bug in the image library when realpath() returns false.
2182- Fixed a bug in the Models that was preventing libraries from being
2183 used within them.

2185- Fixed some typos in the user guide
2186
2187Version 1.3
2188===========
2189
2190Release Date: April 3, 2006
2191
2192- Added support for :doc:`Models <general/models>`.
2193- Redesigned the database libraries to support additional RDBMs
2194 (Postgres, MySQLi, etc.).
2195- Redesigned the :doc:`Active Record class <./database/active_record>`
2196 to enable more varied types of queries with simpler syntax, and
2197 advanced features like JOINs.
2198- Added a feature to the database class that lets you run :doc:`custom
2199 function calls <./database/call_function>`.
2200- Added support for :doc:`private functions <general/controllers>` in your
2201 controllers. Any controller function name that starts with an
2202 underscore will not be served by a URI request.
2203- Added the ability to pass your own initialization parameters to your
2204 :doc:`custom core libraries <general/creating_libraries>` when using
2205 $this->load->library()
2206- Added support for running standard :doc:`query string URLs <general/urls>`.
2207 These can be optionally enabled in your config file.
2208- Added the ability to :doc:`specify a "suffix" <general/urls>`, which will be
2209 appended to your URLs. For example, you could add .html to your URLs,
2210 making them appear static. This feature is enabled in your config
2211 file.
2212- Added a new error template for use with native PHP errors.
2213- Added "alternator" function in the :doc:`string
2214 helpers <./helpers/string_helper>`.
2215- Removed slashing from the input class. After much debate we decided
2216 to kill this feature.
2217- Change the commenting style in the scripts to the PEAR standard so
2218 that IDEs and tools like phpDocumenter can harvest the comments.
2219- Added better class and function name-spacing to avoid collisions with
2220 user developed classes. All CodeIgniter classes are now prefixed with
2221 CI\_ and all controller methods are prefixed with _ci to avoid
2222 controller collisions. A list of reserved function names can be
2223 :doc:`found here <general/controllers>`.
2224- Redesigned how the "CI" super object is referenced, depending on
2225 whether PHP 4 or 5 is being run, since PHP 5 allows a more graceful
2226 way to manage objects that utilizes a bit less resources.
2227- Deprecated: $this->db->use_table() has been deprecated. Please read
2228 the :doc:`Active Record <./database/active_record>` page for
2229 information.
2230- Deprecated: $this->db->smart_escape_str() has been deprecated.
2231 Please use this instead: $this->db->escape()
2232- Fixed a bug in the exception handler which was preventing some PHP
2233 errors from showing up.
2234- Fixed a typo in the URI class. $this->total_segment() should be
2235 plural: $this->total_segments()
2236- Fixed some typos in the default calendar template
2237- Fixed some typos in the user guide
2238
2239Version 1.2
2240===========
2241
2242Release Date: March 21, 2006
2243
2244- Redesigned some internal aspects of the framework to resolve scoping
2245 problems that surfaced during the beta tests. The problem was most
2246 notable when instantiating classes in your constructors, particularly
2247 if those classes in turn did work in their constructors.
2248- Added a global function named
2249 :doc:`get_instance() <general/ancillary_classes>` allowing the main
2250 CodeIgniter object to be accessible throughout your own classes.
2251- Added new :doc:`File Helper <./helpers/file_helper>`:
2252 delete_files()
2253- Added new :doc:`URL Helpers <./helpers/url_helper>`: base_url(),
2254 index_page()
2255- Added the ability to create your own :doc:`core
2256 libraries <general/creating_libraries>` and store them in your local
2257 application directory.
2258- Added an overwrite option to the :doc:`Upload
2259 class <./libraries/file_uploading>`, enabling files to be
2260 overwritten rather than having the file name appended.
2261- Added Javascript Calendar plugin.
2262- Added search feature to user guide. Note: This is done using Google,
2263 which at the time of this writing has not crawled all the pages of
2264 the docs.
2265- Updated the parser class so that it allows tag pars within other tag
2266 pairs.
2267- Fixed a bug in the DB "where" function.
2268- Fixed a bug that was preventing custom config files to be
2269 auto-loaded.
2270- Fixed a bug in the mysql class bind feature that prevented question
2271 marks in the replacement data.
2272- Fixed some bugs in the xss_clean function

2281 applications <general/managing_apps>` that share a common CodeIgniter
2282 backend.
2283- Moved the "uri protocol" variable from the index.php file into the
2284 config.php file
2285- Fixed a problem that was preventing certain function calls from
2286 working within constructors.
2287- Fixed a problem that was preventing the $this->load->library function
2288 from working in constructors.
2289- Fixed a bug that occurred when the session class was loaded using the
2290 auto-load routine.
2291- Fixed a bug that can happen with PHP versions that do not support the
2292 E_STRICT constant
2293- Fixed a data type error in the form_radio function (form helper)
2294- Fixed a bug that was preventing the xss_clean function from being
2295 called from the validation class.
2296- Fixed the cookie related config names, which were incorrectly
2297 specified as $conf rather than $config
2298- Fixed a pagination problem in the scaffolding.
2299- Fixed a bug in the mysql class "where" function.
2300- Fixed a regex problem in some code that trimmed duplicate slashes.
2301- Fixed a bug in the br() function in the HTML helper
2302- Fixed a syntax mistake in the form_dropdown function in the Form
2303 Helper.
2304- Removed the "style" attributes form the form helpers.
