+*******************************
+Step 11: Usage of XSS filtering
+*******************************
+
+Many functions in CodeIgniter allow you to use its XSS filtering feature
+on demand by passing a boolean parameter. The default value of that
+parameter used to be boolean FALSE, but it is now changed to NULL and it
+will be dynamically determined by your ``$config['global_xss_filtering']``
+value.
+
+If you used to manually pass a boolean value for the ``$xss_filter``
+parameter or if you've always had ``$config['global_xss_filtering']`` set
+to FALSE, then this change doesn't concern you.
+
+Otherwise however, please review your usage of the following functions:
+
+ - :doc:`Input Library <../libraries/input>`
+
+ - input->get()
+ - input->post()
+ - input->get_post()
+ - input->cookie()
+ - input->server()
+ - input->input_stream()
+
+ - :doc:`Cookie Helper <../helpers/cookie_helper>` :func:`get_cookie()`
+
+.. important:: Another related change is that the ``$_GET``, ``$_POST``,
+ ``$_COOKIE`` and ``$_SERVER`` superglobals are no longer
+ automatically overwritten when global XSS filtering is turned on.

+Database drivers 'mysql', 'sqlite', 'mssql', 'pdo/dblib'
+========================================================
+
+The **mysql** driver utilizes the old 'mysql' PHP extension, known for its aging code base and
+many low-level problems. The extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5 and CodeIgniter deprecates
+it in version 3.0, switching the default configured MySQL driver to **mysqli**.
+
+Please use either the 'mysqli' or 'pdo/mysql' drivers for MySQL. The old 'mysql' driver will be
+removed at some point in the future.
+
+The **sqlite**, **mssql** and **pdo/dblib** (also known as pdo/mssql or pdo/sybase) drivers
+all depend on PHP extensions that for different reasons no longer exist since PHP 5.3.
+
+Therefore we are now deprecating these drivers as we will have to remove them in one of the next
+CodeIgniter versions. You should use the more advanced, **sqlite3**, **sqlsrv** or **pdo/sqlsrv**
+drivers respectively.
+
+.. note:: These drivers are still available, but you're strongly encouraged to switch to other ones
