+ - Replaced the _error_message() and _error_number() methods with error(), that returns an array containing the last database error code and message.
+ - Improved version() implementation so that drivers that have a native function to get the version number don't have to be defined in the core DB_driver class.

+ - Added db_set_charset() support.
+ - 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.

+Validating an Array (other than $_POST)
+=======================================
+
+Sometimes you may want to validate an array that does not originate from $_POST data.
+
+In this case, you can specify the array to be validated::
+
+ $data = array(
+ 'username' => 'johndoe',
+ 'password' => 'mypassword',
+ 'passconf' => 'mypassword'
+ );
+
+ $this->form_validation->set_data($data);
+
+Creating validation rules, running the validation and retrieving error messages works the same whether you are
+validating $_POST data or an array.
+
+**Important Note:** If you want to validate more than one array during a single execution, then you should
+call the reset_validation() function before setting up rules and validating the new array.
