This is a pre-release of 4.0.0. It is not suitable for production! (but it is pretty darn close)


Highlights:

• A number of fixes & improvements, importantly for the Model and testing classes
  
• Models now require a primary key
  
• Generated API docs accessible at https://codeigniter4.github.io/api/
  
• Validation rules have been enhanced
  
• .htaccess beefed up
  

New messages:

• Database.noPrimaryKey, forFindColumnHaveMultipleColumns, Database.forEmptyInputGiven
  

App changes:

• updated app/Config/Events
  
• added app/Controllers/BaseController
  
• added tests/ folder for unit testing
  
• added phpunit.xml.dist for unit testing configuration
  

Check the changelog for details, and the installation writeup for further directions.
Looking to upgrade from CI3 to CI4?

We might need one more  beta round, as we continue to fix remaining bugs and tighten up the code.
Thank you to the community for stepping up to help make this the best PHP framework!
