Hey, would it be possible to get a "developer preview" version of CI before it's released to us 3rd party developers can make sure our apps are 1.5.5? compatible as soon as possible?

Zaatar: Technically you can do that already by getting the latest version from the SVN repository.

It happens to the best of us. Don't worry about it.

So far theres nothing that will "break" our applications, every function or feature thats changed has a backwards compatibility mode thankfully. All keep an eye on stuff that could break us!

Yup, I promise we'll go very far out of our way to NOT break backward compatibility. There are a few things that have been deprecated though... for example $this->db->groupby() is now group_by(). Trying to standardize things. groupby() will still work, but I'd encourage you not to use it. (some day it'll go "bye bye")

In general, the code in the SVN is pretty stable... having made it through at least some testing... but by all means please report anything noteworthy. We try to get new stuff in there as fast as possible so that you always have access to the latest code for testing and such.
