261Version 2.0.3
262=============
263
264Release Date: August 20, 2011
265
266- Security
267
268 - An improvement was made to the MySQL and MySQLi drivers to prevent
269 exposing a potential vector for SQL injection on sites using
270 multi-byte character sets in the database client connection.
271 An incompatibility in PHP versions < 5.2.3 and MySQL < 5.0.7 with
272 *mysql_set_charset()* creates a situation where using multi-byte
273 character sets on these environments may potentially expose a SQL
274 injection attack vector. Latin-1, UTF-8, and other "low ASCII"
275 character sets are unaffected on all environments.
276
277 If you are running or considering running a multi-byte character
278 set for your database connection, please pay close attention to
279 the server environment you are deploying on to ensure you are not
280 vulnerable.
281

Timothy Warren01b56bc2011-10-10 10:45:45 -0400297 - Fixed a bug where :doc:`Email library <libraries/email>`
Derek Jones8ede1a22011-10-05 13:34:52 -0500298 attachments with a "." in the name would using invalid MIME-types.
Derek Jones8ede1a22011-10-05 13:34:52 -0500299

304 - form_open() now only adds a hidden (Cross-site Reference Forgery)
305 protection field when the form's action is internal and is set to
306 the post method. (Reactor #165)

308 helper <helpers/inflector_helper>` to support considerably
309 more words.
310

321 library <libraries/loader>` to retrieve global vars set with
322 $this->load->view() and $this->load->vars().

324 than escape_str().
325

328
329- Added ENVIRONMENT to reserved constants. (Reactor #196)
330- Changed server check to ensure SCRIPT_NAME is defined. (Reactor #57)

346 of all items in the cart instead of your total count.
347- Fixed a bug where not setting 'null' when adding fields in db_forge
348 for mysql and mysqli drivers would default to NULL instead of NOT
349 NULL as the docs suggest.
350- Fixed a bug where using $this->db->select_max(),
351 $this->db->select_min(), etc could throw notices. Thanks to w43l for
352 the patch.
353- Replace checks for STDIN with php_sapi_name() == 'cli' which on the
354 whole is more reliable. This should get parameters in crontab
355 working.

476 - Plugins have been removed, in favor of Helpers. The CAPTCHA plugin
477 has been converted to a Helper and
478 :doc:`documented <./helpers/captcha_helper>`. The JavaScript
479 calendar plugin was removed due to the ready availability of great
480 JavaScript calendars, particularly with jQuery.

494 controller sub-directory can be specified when running _GET
495 strings instead of URI segments.
496 - Added ability to set "Package" paths - specific paths where the
497 Loader and Config classes should try to look first for a requested
498 file. This allows distribution of sub-applications with their own
499 libraries, models, config files, etc. in a single "package"
500 directory. See the :doc:`Loader class <libraries/loader>`
501 documentation for more details.

538 that one can specify the object to look for requested methods,
539 instead of assuming it is in the $CI superobject.
540 - Added "is_object" into the list of unit tests capable of being
541 run.
542 - Table library will generate an empty cell with a blank string, or
543 NULL value.

568 example would contain a zip with "directory" and all of its
569 contents.
570 - Added ability in the Image Library to handle PNG transparency for
571 resize operations when using the GD lib.
572 - Modified the Session class to prevent use if no encryption key is

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

1000 some helper functions for use in view files. **Please note that
1001 the old Validation class is now deprecated**. We will leave it in
1002 the library folder for some time so that existing applications
1003 that use it will not break, but you are encouraged to migrate to
1004 the new version.
1005 - Updated the :doc:`Sessions class <libraries/sessions>` so that
1006 any custom data being saved gets stored to a database rather than
1007 the session cookie (assuming you are using a database to store
1008 session data), permitting much more data to be saved.
1009 - Added the ability to store libraries in subdirectories within
1010 either the main "libraries" or the local application "libraries"
1011 folder. Please see the :doc:`Loader class <libraries/loader>` for

1035 Validation <libraries/form_validation>` class so that
1036 multi-byte languages will calculate string lengths properly.

1040 - Improved Active Record class to allow full path column and table
1041 names: hostname.database.table.column. Also improved the alias

1046 functions.
1047 - Added removal of non-printing control characters in escape_str()
1048 of DB drivers that do not have native PHP escaping mechanisms
1049 (mssql, oci8, odbc), to avoid potential SQL errors, and possible
1050 sources of SQL injection.
1051 - Added port support to MySQL, MySQLi, and MS SQL database drivers.
1052 - Added driver name variable in each DB driver, based on bug report
1053 #4436.
1054

1056
1057 - Added several new "setting" functions to the :doc:`Form
1058 helper <helpers/form_helper>` that allow POST data to be
1059 retrieved and set into forms. These are intended to be used on
1060 their own, or with the new :doc:`Form Validation
1061 Class <libraries/form_validation>`.
1062 - Added current_url() and uri_segments() to :doc:`URL
1063 helper <helpers/url_helper>`.
1064 - Altered auto_link() in the :doc:`URL
1065 helper <helpers/url_helper>` so that email addresses with
1066 "+" included will be linked.
1067 - Added meta() function to :doc:`HTML
1068 helper <helpers/html_helper>`.
1069 - Improved accuracy of calculations in :doc:`Number

1077 world's current time zones and offsets.
1078 - Modified url_title() in the :doc:`URL
1079 helper <helpers/url_helper>` to remove characters and digits
1080 that are part of character entities, to allow dashes, underscores,
1081 and periods regardless of the $separator, and to allow uppercase
1082 characters.
1083 - Added support for arbitrary attributes in anchor_popup() of the
1084 :doc:`URL helper <helpers/url_helper>`.
1085
1086- Other Changes
1087
1088 - Added :doc:`PHP Style Guide <./general/styleguide>` to docs.
1089 - Added sanitization in xss_clean() for a deprecated HTML tag that
1090 could be abused in user input in Internet Explorer.
1091 - Added a few openxml document mime types, and an additional mobile
1092 agent to mimes.php and user_agents.php respectively.
1093 - Added a file lock check during caching, before trying to write to
1094 the file.
1095 - Modified Cookie key cleaning to unset a few troublesome key names
1096 that can be present in certain environments, preventing CI from
1097 halting execution.
1098 - Changed the output of the profiler to use style attribute rather
1099 than clear, and added the id "codeigniter_profiler" to the
1100 container div.

2059- Updated the :doc:`Config Library <./libraries/config>` to be able to
2060 load config files silently, and to be able to assign config files to
2061 their own index (to avoid collisions if you use multiple config
2062 files).

2064 work more reliably in different environments.

2122
2123- Models do **not** connect automatically to the database as of this
2124 version. :doc:`More info here <./general/models>`.
2125- Updated the Sessions class to utilize the active record class when
2126 running session related queries. Previously the queries assumed MySQL

2147=============
2148
2149Release Date: April 17, 2006
2150
2151- Changed the behavior of the validation class such that if a
2152 "required" rule is NOT explicitly stated for a field then all other
2153 tests get ignored.
2154- Fixed a bug in the Controller class that was causing it to look in
2155 the local "init" folder instead of the main system one.
2156- Fixed a bug in the init_pagination file. The $config item was not
2157 being set correctly.

2168- Added a :doc:`Unit Testing Library <./libraries/unit_testing>`.
2169- Added the ability to pass objects to the **insert()** and
2170 **update()** database functions. This feature enables you to (among
2171 other things) use your :doc:`Model class <./general/models>`
2172 variables to run queries with. See the Models page for details.
2173- Added the ability to pass objects to the :doc:`view loading
2174 function <./general/views>`: $this->load->view('my_view',
2175 $object);
2176- Added getwhere function to :doc:`Active Record
2177 class <./database/active_record>`.
2178- Added count_all function to :doc:`Active Record
2179 class <./database/active_record>`.
2180- Added language file for scaffolding and fixed a scaffolding bug that
2181 occurs when there are no rows in the specified table.
2182- Added :doc:`$this->db->last_query() <./database/queries>`, which
2183 allows you to view your last query that was run.
2184- Added a new mime type to the upload class for better compatibility.
2185- Changed how cache files are read to prevent PHP errors if the cache
2186 file contains an XML tag, which PHP wants to interpret as a short
2187 tag.
2188- Fixed a bug in a couple of the active record functions (where and
2189 orderby).
2190- Fixed a bug in the image library when realpath() returns false.

2195
2196Version 1.3
2197===========
2198
2199Release Date: April 3, 2006
2200
2201- Added support for :doc:`Models <general/models>`.
2202- Redesigned the database libraries to support additional RDBMs
2203 (Postgres, MySQLi, etc.).
2204- Redesigned the :doc:`Active Record class <./database/active_record>`
2205 to enable more varied types of queries with simpler syntax, and
2206 advanced features like JOINs.
2207- Added a feature to the database class that lets you run :doc:`custom
2208 function calls <./database/call_function>`.
2209- Added support for :doc:`private functions <general/controllers>` in your
2210 controllers. Any controller function name that starts with an
2211 underscore will not be served by a URI request.
2212- Added the ability to pass your own initialization parameters to your
2213 :doc:`custom core libraries <general/creating_libraries>` when using
2214 $this->load->library()
2215- Added support for running standard :doc:`query string URLs <general/urls>`.
2216 These can be optionally enabled in your config file.
2217- Added the ability to :doc:`specify a "suffix" <general/urls>`, which will be
2218 appended to your URLs. For example, you could add .html to your URLs,
2219 making them appear static. This feature is enabled in your config
2220 file.
2221- Added a new error template for use with native PHP errors.
2222- Added "alternator" function in the :doc:`string
2223 helpers <./helpers/string_helper>`.
2224- Removed slashing from the input class. After much debate we decided
2225 to kill this feature.
2226- Change the commenting style in the scripts to the PEAR standard so
2227 that IDEs and tools like phpDocumenter can harvest the comments.
2228- Added better class and function name-spacing to avoid collisions with
2229 user developed classes. All CodeIgniter classes are now prefixed with
2230 CI\_ and all controller methods are prefixed with _ci to avoid
2231 controller collisions. A list of reserved function names can be
2232 :doc:`found here <general/controllers>`.
2233- Redesigned how the "CI" super object is referenced, depending on
2234 whether PHP 4 or 5 is being run, since PHP 5 allows a more graceful
2235 way to manage objects that utilizes a bit less resources.
2236- Deprecated: $this->db->use_table() has been deprecated. Please read
2237 the :doc:`Active Record <./database/active_record>` page for
2238 information.
2239- Deprecated: $this->db->smart_escape_str() has been deprecated.
2240 Please use this instead: $this->db->escape()
2241- Fixed a bug in the exception handler which was preventing some PHP
2242 errors from showing up.
2243- Fixed a typo in the URI class. $this->total_segment() should be
2244 plural: $this->total_segments()
2245- Fixed some typos in the default calendar template
2246- Fixed some typos in the user guide
2247
2248Version 1.2
2249===========
2250
2251Release Date: March 21, 2006
2252
2253- Redesigned some internal aspects of the framework to resolve scoping
2254 problems that surfaced during the beta tests. The problem was most
2255 notable when instantiating classes in your constructors, particularly
2256 if those classes in turn did work in their constructors.
2257- Added a global function named
2258 :doc:`get_instance() <general/ancillary_classes>` allowing the main
2259 CodeIgniter object to be accessible throughout your own classes.
2260- Added new :doc:`File Helper <./helpers/file_helper>`:
2261 delete_files()
2262- Added new :doc:`URL Helpers <./helpers/url_helper>`: base_url(),
2263 index_page()
2264- Added the ability to create your own :doc:`core
2265 libraries <general/creating_libraries>` and store them in your local
2266 application directory.
2267- Added an overwrite option to the :doc:`Upload
2268 class <./libraries/file_uploading>`, enabling files to be
2269 overwritten rather than having the file name appended.
2270- Added Javascript Calendar plugin.
2271- Added search feature to user guide. Note: This is done using Google,
2272 which at the time of this writing has not crawled all the pages of
2273 the docs.
2274- Updated the parser class so that it allows tag pars within other tag
2275 pairs.
2276- Fixed a bug in the DB "where" function.
2277- Fixed a bug that was preventing custom config files to be
2278 auto-loaded.

2290 applications <general/managing_apps>` that share a common CodeIgniter
2291 backend.
2292- Moved the "uri protocol" variable from the index.php file into the
2293 config.php file
2294- Fixed a problem that was preventing certain function calls from
2295 working within constructors.
2296- Fixed a problem that was preventing the $this->load->library function
2297 from working in constructors.

2306 specified as $conf rather than $config
2307- Fixed a pagination problem in the scaffolding.
2308- Fixed a bug in the mysql class "where" function.
2309- Fixed a regex problem in some code that trimmed duplicate slashes.
2310- Fixed a bug in the br() function in the HTML helper
2311- Fixed a syntax mistake in the form_dropdown function in the Form
2312 Helper.
