so C.I. survived and with 3.0 it saved me from Lara-Hell ?

I've a large codeigniter 2.x base. I was reading that C.I. "was going to die" so i tried a bunch of alternatives out there.

I first got in love with Fuel PHP but its seems they are writing a new version that will not be compatible with the old one... geez i need a 10/20 year stable API !!! :-P

Then i tested Laravel. Well it looked like heaven on the chart until i startet testing it... 10.000+ files... 18MB base memory usage... oh my!!! My apps runs on 1/2 GB VPS, my PHP app should be 1-2MB when not using the DB; not only because of the limited ram but also to fit as many as possible within XCache. So i just renamed it Lara-hell.

So, i just noticed CI 3.0 is out and it solves some ugly things i've been suffered for years like the Session Library *g*

Nice!

Will CI 3.0 stay here for a long time and will be as much as compatible with the past?
