CodeIgniter 3.x.x Branch starting to show Depreciation Warnings using PHP 7.x.x

This is just a heads up.

CodeIgniter 3.1.8

.system/core/Security.php

LINE 633:

PHP Code:

// Unfortunately, none of the following PRNGs is guaranteed to exist ...
if (defined('MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM') && ($output = mcrypt_create_iv($length, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM)) !== FALSE)
{
    return $output;
} 


mcrypt_create_iv

PHP Code:

Warning

This function was DEPRECATED in PHP 7.1.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.2.0.

Alternatives to this function include:

random_bytes() 


So it looks like the CodeIgniter 3 Branch is starting to show alot of depreciation warnings with PHP 7.x.x

There are a lot more, but just wanted to point this one out.

No. It will not show a deprecated warning....
