Version 4.0.0-alpha.5

Release Date: Jan 30, 2019

Next alpha release of CodeIgniter4

Highlights:

• added $maxQueries setting to app/Config/Toolbar.php

• updated PHP dependency to 7.2

• new feature branches have been created for the email and queue modules, so they don’t impact the release of 4.0.0

• dropped several language messages that were unused (eg Migrations.missingTable) and added some new (eg Migrations.invalidType)

• lots of bug fixes, especially for the database support

• provided filters (CSRF, Honeypot, DebugToolbar) have been moved from app/Filters/ to system/Filters/

• revisited the installation and tutorial sections of the user guide

• code coverage is at 77% … getting ever closer to our target of 80% :)

We hope this will be the last alpha, and that the next pre-release will be our first beta … fingers crossed!
