+
+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.
+ - Visual updates to the welcome_message view file and default error
+ 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.

+ pem,p10,p12,p7a,p7c,p7m,p7r,p7s,crt,crl,der,kdb,rsa,cer,sst,csr
+ Certs to mimes.php.
+ - Added support pgp,gpg to mimes.php.

+ 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.

+-------------------
+
+- Added ENVIRONMENT to reserved constants. (Reactor #196)
+- Changed server check to ensure SCRIPT_NAME is defined. (Reactor #57)
+- Removed APPPATH.'third_party' from the packages autoloader to negate
+ needless file stats if no packages exist or if the developer does not

+ fails XSS checks.
+ - Added stripslashes() and trim()ing of double quotes from $_FILES
+ type value to standardize input in Upload library.
+ - Added a second parameter (boolean) to

+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
+ appended in the output.
+ - Added max_filename option to set a file name length limit in the
+ :doc:`File Upload Class <libraries/file_uploading>`.
+ - Added set_status_header() function to :doc:`Output
+ class <libraries/output>`.
+ - Modified :doc:`Pagination <libraries/pagination>` class to only
+ output the "First" link when the link for page one would not be
+ shown.
+ - Added support for mb_strlen in the :doc:`Form
+ Validation <libraries/form_validation>` class so that
+ multi-byte languages will calculate string lengths properly.
+
+- Database
+
+ - Improved Active Record class to allow full path column and table
+ names: hostname.database.table.column. Also improved the alias
+ handling.
+ - Improved how table and column names are escaped and prefixed. It
+ now honors full path names when adding prefixes and escaping.
+ - Added Active Record caching feature to "update" and "delete"
+ functions.
+ - Added removal of non-printing control characters in escape_str()
+ of DB drivers that do not have native PHP escaping mechanisms
+ (mssql, oci8, odbc), to avoid potential SQL errors, and possible
+ sources of SQL injection.
+ - Added port support to MySQL, MySQLi, and MS SQL database drivers.
+ - Added driver name variable in each DB driver, based on bug report
+ #4436.
+
+- Helpers
+
+ - Added several new "setting" functions to the :doc:`Form
+ helper <helpers/form_helper>` that allow POST data to be
+ retrieved and set into forms. These are intended to be used on
+ their own, or with the new :doc:`Form Validation
+ Class <libraries/form_validation>`.
+ - Added current_url() and uri_segments() to :doc:`URL
+ helper <helpers/url_helper>`.
+ - Altered auto_link() in the :doc:`URL
+ helper <helpers/url_helper>` so that email addresses with
+ "+" included will be linked.
+ - Added meta() function to :doc:`HTML
+ helper <helpers/html_helper>`.
+ - Improved accuracy of calculations in :doc:`Number
+ helper <helpers/number_helper>`.
+ - Removed added newlines ("\\n") from most form and html helper
+ functions.
+ - Tightened up validation in the :doc:`Date
+ helper <helpers/date_helper>` function human_to_unix(),
+ and eliminated the POSIX regex.
+ - Updated :doc:`Date helper <helpers/date_helper>` to match the
+ world's current time zones and offsets.
+ - Modified url_title() in the :doc:`URL
+ helper <helpers/url_helper>` to remove characters and digits
+ that are part of character entities, to allow dashes, underscores,
+ and periods regardless of the $separator, and to allow uppercase
+ characters.
+ - Added support for arbitrary attributes in anchor_popup() of the
+ :doc:`URL helper <helpers/url_helper>`.
+
+- Other Changes
+
+ - Added :doc:`PHP Style Guide <./general/styleguide>` to docs.
+ - Added sanitization in xss_clean() for a deprecated HTML tag that
+ could be abused in user input in Internet Explorer.
+ - Added a few openxml document mime types, and an additional mobile
+ agent to mimes.php and user_agents.php respectively.
+ - Added a file lock check during caching, before trying to write to
+ the file.
+ - Modified Cookie key cleaning to unset a few troublesome key names
+ that can be present in certain environments, preventing CI from
+ halting execution.
+ - Changed the output of the profiler to use style attribute rather
+ than clear, and added the id "codeigniter_profiler" to the
+ container div.

+ page.
+- Added several new functions in the :doc:`URI
+ Class <./libraries/uri>` to let you retrieve and manipulate URI
+ segments that have been re-routed using the :doc:`URI
+ Routing <general/routing>` feature. Previously, the URI class did not
+ permit you to access any re-routed URI segments, but now it does.
+- Added :doc:`$this->output->set_header() <./libraries/output>`
+ function, which allows you to set server headers.
+- Updated plugins, helpers, and language classes to allow your
+ application folder to contain its own plugins, helpers, and language
+ folders. Previously they were always treated as global for your
+ entire installation. If your application folder contains any of these
+ resources they will be used *instead* the global ones.
+- Added :doc:`Inflector helper <./helpers/inflector_helper>`.
+- Added element() function in the :doc:`array
+ helper <./helpers/array_helper>`.
+- Added RAND() to active record orderby() function.
+- Added delete_cookie() and get_cookie() to :doc:`Cookie
+ helper <./helpers/cookie_helper>`, even though the input class
+ has a cookie fetching function.
+- Added Oracle database driver (still undergoing testing so it might
+ have some bugs).
+- Added the ability to combine pseudo-variables and php variables in
+ the template parser class.
+- Added output compression option to the config file.
+- Removed the is_numeric test from the db->escape() function.
+- Fixed a MySQLi bug that was causing error messages not to contain
+ proper error data.
+- Fixed a bug in the email class which was causing it to ignore
+ explicitly set alternative headers.
+- Fixed a bug that was causing a PHP error when the Exceptions class
+ was called within the get_config() function since it was causing
+ problems.
+- Fixed an oversight in the cookie helper in which the config file
+ cookie settings were not being honored.
+- Fixed an oversight in the upload class. An item mentioned in the 1.4
+ changelog was missing.
+- Added some code to allow email attachments to be reset when sending
+ 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
+ :doc:`libraries <./general/libraries>` or
+ :doc:`models <./general/models>` instead. It was originally added
+ before CI had user libraries or models, but it's not needed anymore.
+- Deprecated the $autoload['core'] item from the autoload.php file.
+ Instead, please now use: $autoload['libraries']
+- Deprecated the following database functions:
+ $this->db->smart_escape_str() and $this->db->fields().
+

+- Updated the form_open() helper to allow the GET method to be used.
+- Updated the MySQLi execute() function with some code to help prevent

+
+- Changed the behavior of the validation class such that if a
+ "required" rule is NOT explicitly stated for a field then all other
+ tests get ignored.
+- Fixed a bug in the Controller class that was causing it to look in

+
+Version 1.3.1
+=============

+Release Date: April 11, 2006
+
+- Added a :doc:`Unit Testing Library <./libraries/unit_testing>`.
+- Added the ability to pass objects to the **insert()** and
+ **update()** database functions. This feature enables you to (among
+ other things) use your :doc:`Model class <./general/models>`
+ variables to run queries with. See the Models page for details.
+- Added the ability to pass objects to the :doc:`view loading
+ function <./general/views>`: $this->load->view('my_view',

+
+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.
