 	 -  Added _optimize_table() support for the :doc:`Database Utility Class <database/utilities>` (rebuilds table indexes).
    -  Added a constructor to the DB_result class and moved all driver-specific properties and logic out of the base DB_driver class to allow better abstraction.
    -  Removed limit() and order_by() support for UPDATE and DELETE queries in PostgreSQL driver. Postgres does not support those features.
+   -  Removed protect_identifiers() and renamed _protect_identifiers() to it instead - it was just an alias.

    -  Removed CI_CORE boolean constant from CodeIgniter.php (no longer Reactor and Core versions).
    -  Added method get_vars() to CI_Loader to retrieve all variables loaded with $this->load->vars().
    -  is_loaded() function from system/core/Commons.php now returns a reference.
+   -  $config['rewrite_short_tags'] now has no effect when using PHP 5.4 as *<?=* will always be available.

 Bug fixes for 3.0

 -  Fixed a bug in Oracle's DB_result class where the cursor id passed to it was always NULL.
 -  Fixed a bug (#64) - Regular expression in DB_active_rec.php failed to handle queries containing SQL bracket delimiters in the join condition.
 -  Fixed a bug in the :doc:`Session Library <libraries/sessions>` where a PHP E_NOTICE error was triggered by _unserialize() due to results from databases such as MSSQL and Oracle being space-padded on the right.
+-  Fixed a bug (#501) - set_rules() to check if the request method is not 'POST' before aborting, instead of depending on count($_POST) in the :doc:`Form Validation Library <libraries/form_validation>`.
+-  Fixed a bug (#940) - csrf_verify() used to set the CSRF cookie while processing a POST request with no actual POST data, which resulted in validating a request that should be considered invalid.
