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 `_ for the pull request. - Added insert_batch() function to the PostgreSQL database driver.

Version 1.7
===========

Release Date: October 23, 2008
Hg Tag: 1.7.0

-  Libraries

   -  Added a new :doc:`Form Validation
      Class `. 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 ` 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 ` 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 ` for more info.
   -  Added controller class/method info to :doc:`Profiler
      class ` and support for multiple database
      connections.
   -  Improved the "auto typography" feature and moved it out of the
      helper into its own :doc:`Typography
      Class `.
   -  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 `.
   -  Added set_status_header() function to :doc:`Output
      class `.
   -  Modified :doc:`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 ` 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 ` 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 `.
   -  Added current_url() and uri_segments() to :doc:`URL
      helper `.
   -  Altered auto_link() in the :doc:`URL
      helper ` so that email addresses with
      "+" included will be linked.
   -  Added meta() function to :doc:`HTML
      helper `.
   -  Improved accuracy of calculations in :doc:`Number
      helper `.
   -  Removed added newlines ("\\n") from most form and html helper
      functions.
   -  Tightened up validation in the :doc:`Date
      helper ` function human_to_unix(),
      and eliminated the POSIX regex.
   -  Updated :doc:`Date helper ` to match the
      world's current time zones and offsets.
   -  Modified url_title() in the :doc:`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 `.

-  Other Changes
