Version 2.0.3
=============

Release Date: August 20, 2011

-  Security

   -  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.
      An incompatibility in PHP versions < 5.2.3 and MySQL < 5.0.7 with
      *mysql_set_charset()* 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.

      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.

-  General Changes

   -  Fixed a bug where there was a misspelling within a code comment in
      the index.php file.
   -  Added Session Class userdata to the output profiler. Additionally,
      added a show/hide toggle on HTTP Headers, Session Data and Config
      Variables.
   -  Removed internal usage of the EXT constant.

      templates. Thanks to `danijelb <https://bitbucket.org/danijelb>`_
      for the pull request.
   -  Added insert_batch() function to the PostgreSQL database driver.
      Thanks to epallerols for the patch.
   -  Added "application/x-csv" to mimes.php.
   -  Added CSRF protection URI whitelisting.
   -  Fixed a bug where :doc:`Email library <libraries/email>`
      attachments with a "." in the name would using invalid MIME-types.

-  Helpers

   -  Added an optional third parameter to heading() which allows adding
      html attributes to the rendered heading tag.
   -  form_open() now only adds a hidden (Cross-site Reference Forgery)
      protection field when the form's action is internal and is set to
      the post method. (Reactor #165)
   -  Re-worked plural() and singular() functions in the :doc:`Inflector
      helper <helpers/inflector_helper>` to support considerably
      more words.

   -  Altered Session to use a longer match against the user_agent
      string. See upgrade notes if using database sessions.
   -  Added $this->db->set_dbprefix() to the :doc:`Database
      Driver <database/queries>`.

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

   needless file stats if no packages exist or if the developer does not
   load any other packages by default.

   example SQL did not contain an index on last_activity. See :doc:`Upgrade
   Notes <installation/upgrade_203>`.
-  Fixed a bug (Reactor #229) where the Sessions Library example SQL in
   the documentation contained incorrect SQL.
-  Fixed a bug (Core #340) where when passing in the second parameter to
   $this->db->select(), column names in subsequent queries would not be

   $this->db->select_min(), etc could throw notices. Thanks to w43l for
   the patch.

   -  Added the ability to set config values (or override config values)
      directly from data set in the main index.php file. This allows a
      single application to be used with multiple front controllers,
      each having its own config values.

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

      from $this->dbforge->modify_column()'s 2nd param if you aren't
      changing the name.

Version 1.7
===========

Release Date: October 23, 2008
Hg Tag: 1.7.0

-  Libraries

   -  Added a new :doc:`Form Validation
      Class <libraries/form_validation>`. It simplifies setting
      rules and field names, supports arrays as field names, allows
      groups of validation rules to be saved in a config file, and adds
      some helper functions for use in view files. **Please note that
      the old Validation class is now deprecated**. We will leave it in
      the library folder for some time so that existing applications
      that use it will not break, but you are encouraged to migrate to
      the new version.
   -  Updated the :doc:`Sessions class <libraries/sessions>` so that
      any custom data being saved gets stored to a database rather than
      the session cookie (assuming you are using a database to store
      session data), permitting much more data to be saved.
   -  Added the ability to store libraries in subdirectories within
      either the main "libraries" or the local application "libraries"
      folder. Please see the :doc:`Loader class <libraries/loader>` for
      more info.
   -  Added the ability to assign library objects to your own variable
      names when you use $this->load->library(). Please see the :doc:`Loader
      class <libraries/loader>` for more info.
   -  Added controller class/method info to :doc:`Profiler
      class <general/profiling>` and support for multiple database
      connections.
   -  Improved the "auto typography" feature and moved it out of the
      helper into its own :doc:`Typography
      Class <libraries/typography>`.
   -  Improved performance and accuracy of xss_clean(), including
      reduction of false positives on image/file tests.
   -  Improved :doc:`Parser class <./libraries/parser>` to allow
      multiple calls to the parse() function. The output of each is

   batches of email.
-  Deprecated the application/scripts folder. It will continue to work
   for legacy users, but it is recommended that you create your own

-  Fixed a bug in the Models that was preventing libraries from being
   used within them.
-  Fixed a bug in the "exact_length" function of the validation class.
-  Fixed some typos in the user guide

Version 1.3
===========

Release Date: April 3, 2006

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

Version 1.2
===========

Release Date: March 21, 2006

-  Redesigned some internal aspects of the framework to resolve scoping
   problems that surfaced during the beta tests. The problem was most
   notable when instantiating classes in your constructors, particularly
   if those classes in turn did work in their constructors.
-  Added a global function named
   :doc:`get_instance() <general/ancillary_classes>` allowing the main
   CodeIgniter object to be accessible throughout your own classes.
-  Added new :doc:`File Helper <./helpers/file_helper>`:
   delete_files()
-  Added new :doc:`URL Helpers <./helpers/url_helper>`: base_url(),
   index_page()
-  Added the ability to create your own :doc:`core
   libraries <general/creating_libraries>` and store them in your local
   application directory.
-  Added an overwrite option to the :doc:`Upload
   class <./libraries/file_uploading>`, enabling files to be
   overwritten rather than having the file name appended.
-  Added Javascript Calendar plugin.
-  Added search feature to user guide. Note: This is done using Google,
   which at the time of this writing has not crawled all the pages of
   the docs.
-  Updated the parser class so that it allows tag pars within other tag
   pairs.
-  Fixed a bug in the DB "where" function.
-  Fixed a bug that was preventing custom config files to be
   auto-loaded.
-  Fixed a bug in the mysql class bind feature that prevented question
   marks in the replacement data.
-  Fixed some bugs in the xss_clean function

Version Beta 1.1
================

Release Date: March 10, 2006

-  Added a :doc:`Calendaring class <./libraries/calendar>`.

   applications <general/managing_apps>` that share a common CodeIgniter
   backend.
-  Moved the "uri protocol" variable from the index.php file into the
   config.php file
-  Fixed a problem that was preventing certain function calls from
   working within constructors.
-  Fixed a problem that was preventing the $this->load->library function
   from working in constructors.
-  Fixed a bug that occurred when the session class was loaded using the
   auto-load routine.
-  Fixed a bug that can happen with PHP versions that do not support the
   E_STRICT constant
-  Fixed a data type error in the form_radio function (form helper)
-  Fixed a bug that was preventing the xss_clean function from being
   called from the validation class.
-  Fixed the cookie related config names, which were incorrectly
   specified as $conf rather than $config
-  Fixed a pagination problem in the scaffolding.
-  Fixed a bug in the mysql class "where" function.
-  Fixed a regex problem in some code that trimmed duplicate slashes.
-  Fixed a bug in the br() function in the HTML helper
