CodeIgniter 1.6 hits the streets

EllisLab is proud to announce the release of CodeIgniter 1.6, our open source web application framework.  The release marks a new turn in the development of the framework, and has received considerable attention from both EllisLab developers and the community.

Among a host of new capabilities, this release features:

• A Database Forge class: database agnostic table and field manipulation
• An enhanced Active Record library
• A revised Session Class with “flash variables” and additional security
• An extendable Model Class with auto-loadable Models
• Extendable Helpers, and additions and enhancements to existing Helpers
• A revised view architecture that allows for simple inclusion of multiple views
• And over 120 different enhancements, improvements and bug fixes

We’d like to take a moment to sincerely thank the incredible community, who tirelessly offered support, suggestions, fixes, enhancements and encouragement.  Our new model of development is built around you all - thanks.

CodeIgniter is continuing to grow and evolve, and work has already begun for the next release.

For a list of all changes please see the Change Log.  If you are currently running CodeIgniter please read the update instructions.
