[quote author="IvanBernat" date="1246280792"]As a CI newbie (and a CakePHP "expert") I find a lot of things missing/confusing.

E.g. why are the HTML helper and the URL helper separate? I think the (e.g.) site_url should go under the HTML helper (as it produces HTML?).

I also like Cakes way of dealing with forms, form_input for example in Cake would also add a label and a surrounding div. (I already forked the form helper to do this).

This are just two things I'd like to see in the next release :-)[/quote]

This is not something we should go into in great detail here as its rather irrelevant to the subject, but the reason URL and HTML helpers are different is that they do different things. URL helper does do some HTML creation but it also fetches URL data which is nothing to do with HTML.

Several of the CodeIgniter helpers can output HTML so I would not see that as a good way to group functions. Going down that road would lead to there being 3 helpers, string, html and math and they would be huge. Not a good idea.

Back to the subject, if you want more frequent updates, use the SVN repository. I have never had issues with that and it means I am kept up to date. If you find a bug, report it here and look at that, you just made CodeIgniter that little bit more stable and perhaps even sped up the release.

We all make mistakes on deadlines. I thought PyroCMS would be done months ago but then I discovered way more things that need doing. hut:
