Version 3.1.7
=============

Release Date: Jan 13, 2018

-  General Changes

   -  Updated :doc:`Form Validation Library <libraries/form_validation>` rule ``valid_email`` to use ``INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46`` for non-ASCII domain names.
   -  Updated :doc:`Email Library <libraries/email>` to use ``INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46`` for non-ASCII domain names.
   -  Updated :doc:`Loader Library <libraries/loader>` method ``model()`` to log both ``CI_Model`` class loading and individual models' initialization.
   -  Updated :doc:`Pagination Library <libraries/pagination>` to preserve previously set attributes while calling ``initialize()``.
   -  Updated :doc:`Cache Library <libraries/caching>` to automatically add items to cache on ``increment()``, ``decrement()`` calls for missing keys.
   -  Deprecated usage of :doc:`CAPTCHA Helper <helpers/captcha_helper>` function :php:func:`create_captcha()` with parameters other than ``$data``.

Bug fixes for 3.1.7
-------------------

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.

   -  Added insert_batch() function to the PostgreSQL database driver.
      Thanks to epallerols for the patch.
   -  Added "application/x-csv" to mimes.php.
   -  Fixed a bug where :doc:`Email library <libraries/email>`
      attachments with a "." in the name would using invalid MIME-types.

-  Helpers

   -  Added an optional third parameter to heading() which allows adding
      html attributes to the rendered heading tag.
   -  form_open() now only adds a hidden (Cross-site Reference Forgery)
      protection field when the form's action is internal and is set to
      the post method. (Reactor #165)
   -  Re-worked plural() and singular() functions in the :doc:`Inflector
      helper <helpers/inflector_helper>` to support considerably
      more words.

      string. See upgrade notes if using database sessions.
   -  Added $this->db->set_dbprefix() to the :doc:`Database
      Driver <database/queries>`.
   -  Changed $this->cart->insert() in the :doc:`Cart

      library <libraries/loader>` to retrieve global vars set with
      $this->load->view() and $this->load->vars().

   example SQL did not contain an index on last_activity. See :doc:`Upgrade
   Notes <installation/upgrade_203>`.
-  Fixed a bug (Reactor #229) where the Sessions Library example SQL in
   the documentation contained incorrect SQL.
-  Fixed a bug (Core #340) where when passing in the second parameter to
   $this->db->select(), column names in subsequent queries would not be
   properly escaped.
-  Fixed issue #199 - Attributes passed as string does not include a
   space between it and the opening tag.

   for mysql and mysqli drivers would default to NULL instead of NOT
   NULL as the docs suggest.

.. _2.0.0-changelog:

Version 2.0.0
=============

Release Date: January 28, 2011
Hg Tag: v2.0.0

-  General changes

   -  PHP 4 support is removed. CodeIgniter now requires PHP 5.1.6.
   -  Scaffolding, having been deprecated for a number of versions, has
      been removed.
   -  Plugins have been removed, in favor of Helpers. The CAPTCHA plugin
      has been converted to a Helper and
      :doc:`documented <./helpers/captcha_helper>`. The JavaScript
      calendar plugin was removed due to the ready availability of great
      JavaScript calendars, particularly with jQuery.
   -  Added new special Library type:
      :doc:`Drivers <./general/drivers>`.
   -  Added full query-string support. See the config file for details.
   -  Moved the application folder outside of the system folder.
   -  Moved system/cache and system/logs directories to the application
      directory.
   -  Added routing overrides to the main index.php file, enabling the
      normal routing to be overridden on a per "index" file basis.
   -  Added the ability to set config values (or override config values)
      directly from data set in the main index.php file. This allows a
      single application to be used with multiple front controllers,
      each having its own config values.
   -  Added $config['directory_trigger'] to the config file so that a
      controller sub-directory can be specified when running _GET
      strings instead of URI segments.
   -  Added ability to set "Package" paths - specific paths where the
      Loader and Config classes should try to look first for a requested
      file. This allows distribution of sub-applications with their own
      libraries, models, config files, etc. in a single "package"
      directory. See the :doc:`Loader class <libraries/loader>`
      documentation for more details.
   -  In-development code is now hosted at BitBucket .
   -  Removed the deprecated Validation Class.
   -  Added CI\_ Prefix to all core classes.
   -  Package paths can now be set in application/config/autoload.php.
   -  :doc:`Upload library <libraries/file_uploading>` file_name can
      now be set without an extension, the extension will be taken from
      the uploaded file instead of the given name.
   -  In :doc:`Database Forge <database/forge>` the name can be omitted
      from $this->dbforge->modify_column()'s 2nd param if you aren't
      changing the name.
   -  $config['base_url'] is now empty by default and will guess what
      it should be.
   -  Enabled full Command Line Interface compatibility with
      config['uri_protocol'] = 'CLI';.

-  Libraries

   -  Added a :doc:`Cache driver <libraries/caching>` with APC,
      memcached, and file-based support.
   -  Added $prefix, $suffix and $first_url properties to :doc:`Pagination
      library <./libraries/pagination>`.
   -  Added the ability to suppress first, previous, next, last, and
      page links by setting their values to FALSE in the :doc:`Pagination
      library <./libraries/pagination>`.
   -  Added :doc:`Security library <./libraries/security>`, which now
      contains the xss_clean function, filename_security function and
      other security related functions.
   -  Added CSRF (Cross-site Reference Forgery) protection to the
      :doc:`Security library <./libraries/security>`.
   -  Added $parse_exec_vars property to Output library.
   -  Added ability to enable / disable individual sections of the
      :doc:`Profiler <general/profiling>`
   -  Added a wildcard option $config['allowed_types'] = '\*' to the
      :doc:`File Uploading Class <./libraries/file_uploading>`.
   -  Added an 'object' config variable to the XML-RPC Server library so
      that one can specify the object to look for requested methods,
      instead of assuming it is in the $CI superobject.
   -  Added "is_object" into the list of unit tests capable of being
      run.
   -  Table library will generate an empty cell with a blank string, or
      NULL value.
   -  Added ability to set tag attributes for individual cells in the
      Table library
   -  Added a parse_string() method to the :doc:`Parser
      Class <libraries/parser>`.
   -  Added HTTP headers and Config information to the
      :doc:`Profiler <general/profiling>` output.
   -  Added Chrome and Flock to the list of detectable browsers by
      browser() in the :doc:`User Agent Class <libraries/user_agent>`.
   -  The :doc:`Unit Test Class <libraries/unit_testing>` now has an
      optional "notes" field available to it, and allows for discrete
      display of test result items using
      $this->unit->set_test_items().
   -  Added a $xss_clean class variable to the XMLRPC library, enabling
      control over the use of the Security library's xss_clean()
      method.

      $this->zip->read_dir('/path/to/directory', FALSE) to remove the
      preceding trail of empty folders when creating a Zip archive. This
      example would contain a zip with "directory" and all of its
      contents.
   -  Added ability in the Image Library to handle PNG transparency for
      resize operations when using the GD lib.
   -  Modified the Session class to prevent use if no encryption key is
      set in the config file.
   -  Added a new config item to the Session class
      sess_expire_on_close to allow sessions to auto-expire when the
      browser window is closed.
   -  Improved performance of the Encryption library on servers where
      Mcrypt is available.
   -  Changed the default encryption mode in the Encryption library to
      CBC.
   -  Added an encode_from_legacy() method to provide a way to
      transition encrypted data from CodeIgniter 1.x to CodeIgniter 2.x.
      Please see the :doc:`upgrade
      instructions <./installation/upgrade_200>` for details.

      set_rules(), set_message() and set_error_delimiters()
      functions.
   -  Altered Email Library to allow for method chaining.
   -  Added request_headers(), get_request_header() and
      is_ajax_request() to the input class.

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

Release Date: October 23, 2008
Hg Tag: 1.7.0

-  Libraries

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

-  Other Changes

   -  Added :doc:`PHP Style Guide <./general/styleguide>` to docs.
   -  Added sanitization in xss_clean() for a deprecated HTML tag that
      could be abused in user input in Internet Explorer.
   -  Added a few openxml document mime types, and an additional mobile
      agent to mimes.php and user_agents.php respectively.
   -  Added a file lock check during caching, before trying to write to
      the file.
   -  Modified Cookie key cleaning to unset a few troublesome key names
      that can be present in certain environments, preventing CI from
      halting execution.
   -  Changed the output of the profiler to use style attribute rather
      than clear, and added the id "codeigniter_profiler" to the
      container div.

Version 1.3.2

   tests get ignored.

   the local "init" folder instead of the main system one.

Version 1.3.1
=============

Release Date: April 11, 2006

-  Added a :doc:`Unit Testing Library <./libraries/unit_testing>`.
-  Added the ability to pass objects to the **insert()** and
   **update()** database functions. This feature enables you to (among
   other things) use your :doc:`Model class <./general/models>`
   variables to run queries with. See the Models page for details.
-  Added the ability to pass objects to the :doc:`view loading
   function <./general/views>`: $this->load->view('my_view',
   $object);
-  Added getwhere function to :doc:`Active Record
   class <./database/query_builder>`.
-  Added count_all function to :doc:`Active Record
   class <./database/query_builder>`.
-  Added language file for scaffolding and fixed a scaffolding bug that
   occurs when there are no rows in the specified table.
-  Added :doc:`$this->db->last_query() <./database/queries>`, which
   allows you to view your last query that was run.
-  Added a new mime type to the upload class for better compatibility.
-  Changed how cache files are read to prevent PHP errors if the cache
   file contains an XML tag, which PHP wants to interpret as a short
   tag.
-  Fixed a bug in a couple of the active record functions (where and
   orderby).
-  Fixed a bug in the image library when realpath() returns false.
-  Fixed a bug in the Models that was preventing libraries from being
   used within them.
-  Fixed a bug in the "exact_length" function of the validation class.
-  Fixed some typos in the user guide

Version 1.3
===========

Release Date: April 3, 2006

-  Added support for :doc:`Models <general/models>`.
-  Redesigned the database libraries to support additional RDBMs
   (Postgres, MySQLi, etc.).
-  Redesigned the :doc:`Active Record class <./database/query_builder>`
   to enable more varied types of queries with simpler syntax, and
   advanced features like JOINs.
-  Added a feature to the database class that lets you run :doc:`custom
   function calls <./database/call_function>`.
-  Added support for :doc:`private functions <general/controllers>` in your
   controllers. Any controller function name that starts with an
   underscore will not be served by a URI request.
-  Added the ability to pass your own initialization parameters to your
   :doc:`custom core libraries <general/creating_libraries>` when using
   $this->load->library()
-  Added support for running standard :doc:`query string URLs <general/urls>`.
   These can be optionally enabled in your config file.
-  Added the ability to :doc:`specify a "suffix" <general/urls>`, which will be
   appended to your URLs. For example, you could add .html to your URLs,
   making them appear static. This feature is enabled in your config
   file.
-  Added a new error template for use with native PHP errors.
-  Added "alternator" function in the :doc:`string
   helpers <./helpers/string_helper>`.
-  Removed slashing from the input class. After much debate we decided
   to kill this feature.
-  Change the commenting style in the scripts to the PEAR standard so
   that IDEs and tools like phpDocumenter can harvest the comments.
-  Added better class and function name-spacing to avoid collisions with
   user developed classes. All CodeIgniter classes are now prefixed with
   CI\_ and all controller methods are prefixed with _ci to avoid
   controller collisions. A list of reserved function names can be
   :doc:`found here <general/controllers>`.
-  Redesigned how the "CI" super object is referenced, depending on
   whether PHP 4 or 5 is being run, since PHP 5 allows a more graceful
   way to manage objects that utilizes a bit less resources.
-  Deprecated: $this->db->use_table() has been deprecated. Please read
   the :doc:`Active Record <./database/query_builder>` page for
   information.
-  Deprecated: $this->db->smart_escape_str() has been deprecated.
   Please use this instead: $this->db->escape()
-  Fixed a bug in the exception handler which was preventing some PHP
   errors from showing up.
-  Fixed a typo in the URI class. $this->total_segment() should be
   plural: $this->total_segments()
-  Fixed some typos in the default calendar template
-  Fixed some typos in the user guide

Version 1.2
===========

Release Date: March 21, 2006

-  Redesigned some internal aspects of the framework to resolve scoping
   problems that surfaced during the beta tests. The problem was most
   notable when instantiating classes in your constructors, particularly
   if those classes in turn did work in their constructors.
-  Added a global function named
   :doc:`get_instance() <general/ancillary_classes>` allowing the main
   CodeIgniter object to be accessible throughout your own classes.
-  Added new :doc:`File Helper <./helpers/file_helper>`:
   delete_files()
-  Added new :doc:`URL Helpers <./helpers/url_helper>`: base_url(),
   index_page()
-  Added the ability to create your own :doc:`core
   libraries <general/creating_libraries>` and store them in your local
   application directory.
-  Added an overwrite option to the :doc:`Upload
   class <./libraries/file_uploading>`, enabling files to be
   overwritten rather than having the file name appended.
-  Added Javascript Calendar plugin.
-  Added search feature to user guide. Note: This is done using Google,
   which at the time of this writing has not crawled all the pages of
   the docs.
-  Updated the parser class so that it allows tag pars within other tag
   pairs.
-  Fixed a bug in the DB "where" function.
-  Fixed a bug that was preventing custom config files to be
   auto-loaded.
