- :doc:`Inflector Helper <helpers/inflector_helper>` changes include:
- Changed :php:func:`humanize()` to allow passing an input separator as its second parameter.
- Refactored :php:func:`plural()` and :php:func:`singular()` to avoid double pluralization and support more words.
- - Added an optional third parameter to ``force_download()`` that enables/disables sending the actual file MIME type in the Content-Type header (disabled by default).
- - Added a work-around in ``force_download()`` for a bug Android <= 2.1, where the filename extension needs to be in uppercase.

+ - Added support for reading from an existing file path by passing NULL as the second parameter to :php:func:`force_download()` (useful for large files and/or safely transmitting binary data).
- :doc:`Form Helper <helpers/form_helper>` changes include:
- :php:func:`form_dropdown()` will now also take an array for unity with other form helpers.
- :php:func:`form_prep()`'s second argument now only accepts a boolean value, which determines whether the value is escaped for a <textarea> or a regular <input> element.
