<h2>Version 1.7</h2>
<p>Release Date: In development<br />
SVN Revision: XXXX</p>
<ul>
<li>Libraries
<ul>
<li>Added a new <a href="libraries/form_validation.html">Form Validation Class</a>. 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. <strong>Please note that the old Validation class is now deprecated</strong>. 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.</li>
<li>Updated the <a href="libraries/sessions.html">Sessions class</a> 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.</li>
<li>Added the ability to store libraries in subdirectories within either the main "libraries" or the local application "libraries" folder. Please see the <a href="libraries/loader.html">Loader class</a> for more info.</li>
<li>Added the ability to assign library objects to your own variable names when you use <kbd>$this->load->library()</kbd>. Please see the <a href="libraries/loader.html">Loader class</a> for more info.</li>
<li>Added controller class/method info to <a href="general/profiling.html">Profiler class</a>.</li>
<li>Improved the "auto typography" feature and moved it out of the helper into its own <a href="libraries/typography.html">Typography Class</a>.</li>
<li>Added <dfn>max_filename</dfn> option to set a file name length limit in the <a href="libraries/file_uploading.html">File Upload Class</a>.</li>
<li>Changed the output of the profiler to use style attribute rather than clear, and added the id "codeigniter_profiler" to the container div.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Database
<ul>
<li>Added removal of non-printing control characters in <kbd>escape_str()</kbd> 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.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Helpers
<ul>
<li>Added several new "setting" functions to the <a href="helpers/form_helper.html">Form helper</a> that allow POST data to be retrieved and set into forms. These are intended to be used on their own, or with the new <a href="libraries/form_validation.html">Form Validation Class</a>.</li>
<li>Added <kbd>current_url()</kbd> and uri_segments() to <a href="helpers/url_helper.html">URL helper</a>.</li>
<li>Altered <kbd>auto_link()</kbd> in the <a href="helpers/url_helper.html">URL helper</a> so that email addresses with "+" included will be linked.</li>
<li>Improved accuracy of calculations in <a href="helpers/number_helper.html">Number helper</a>.</li>
<li>Removed added newlines ("\n") from most form and html helper functions.</li>
<li>Tightened up validation in the <a href="helpers/date_helper.html">Date helper</a> function <kbd>human_to_unix()</kbd>, and eliminated the POSIX regex.</li>
<li>Updated <a href="helpers/date_helper.html">Date helper</a> to match the world's current time zones and offsets.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Other changes
<ul>
<li>Improved performance and accuracy of <kbd>xss_clean()</kbd>, including reduction of false positives on image/file tests.</li>
<li>Added sanitization in <kbd>xss_clean()</kbd> for a deprecated HTML tag that could be abused in user input in Internet Explorer.</li>
<li>Added a few openxml document mime types, and an additional mobile agent to mimes.php and user_agents.php respectively.</li>
<li>Added <a href="./general/styleguide.html">PHP Style Guide</a> to docs.</li>
<li>Added backticks around column names in MySQL when using insert_string and update_string functions, and in <kbd>where()</kbd> function.</li>
<li>Modified Pagination library to only output the "First" link when the link for page one would not be shown.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bug fixes for 1.7.0</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixed bug in <kbd>xss_clean()</kbd> that could remove some desirable tag attributes.</li>
<li>Fixed assorted user guide typos or examples (#4807, #4812, #4840, #4862, #4864, #4899, #4930, #5006, #5071, #5158, #5229, #5254).</li>
<li>Fixed an edit from 1.6.3 that made the $robots array in user_agents.php go poof.</li>

<li>Modified XSS sanitization to no longer add semicolons after &[single letter], such as in M&M's, B&B, etc.</li>
<li>Modified XSS sanitization to no longer strip XHTML image tags of closing slashes.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in the Session class when database sessions are used where upon session update all userdata would be errantly written to the session cookie.</li>
<li>Fixed a bug (#4536) in backups with the MySQL driver where some legacy code was causing certain characters to be double escaped.</li>
<li>Fixed a routing bug (#4661) that occurred when the default route pointed to a subfolder.</li>
<li>Fixed the spelling of "Dhaka" in the <kbd>timezone_menu()</kbd> function of the <a href="helpers/date_helper.html">Date helper.</a></li>
<li>Fixed the spelling of "raspberry" in config/smileys.php</li>
<li>Fixed incorrect parenthesis in <kbd>form_open()</kbd> function. (#5135)</li>
<li>Fixed a bug that was ignoring case when comparing controller methods (#4560)</li>
