CodeIgniter 4.0.0-beta.3 released

CodeIgniter-4.0.0-beta.3 launches today

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

Highlights:

• Fixed a number of model, database, validation & debug toolbar issues
  
• Type hinting added throughout & typos corrected (see API docs)
  

New messages:

• Database.FieldNotExists
  
• Validation.equals, not_equals
  

App changes:

• Removed $salt config item in app/Config/App
  
• Enabled migrations by default in app/Config/Migrations
  
• Simplified public/.htaccess
  

Check the changelog for details, and the installation writeup for further directions.

We hope this will be the last beta round, and that you can look forward to the first release candidate next!
Thank you to the community for stepping up to help make this the best PHP framework!
