Url functions includes index.php in CI 4.2.1

Hi guys,

I noticed another thing with the update from CI 4.1.9 to 4.2.1.

Functions which return a URL (e.g. anchor(), current_url()) will result in the url being appended with index.php.

For example:

PHP Code:

echo anchor('subdir', 'link'); 


Will produce

PHP Code:

<a href="https://mysite.url/public/index.php/subdir">link</a> 


Is there any setting to remove index.php from the url? This behaviour was not there in CI 4.1.9.
