Future of CodeIgniter?

CI 2 ??? I think next version will be 1.6.3 or maybe 1.7. Don't expect too many changes in the near future.

They were talking about looking into changing the validation and pagination library. The developers at Ellislab are not so keen on creating a non backward compatible version, i think because nobody likes to see apps/sites break caused by an update of the tool they use.

The update process of the framework has always been a breeze so i think that is not going to change. They even made pages with the instructions to update to each version.
