You can check the updates to the SVN: http://dev.ellislab.com/svn/CodeIgniter Some new features are implemented for 1.5.5

The link above requires authentication. How to get access?

@wolfgang, try adding trunk to the end of it http://dev.ellislab.com/svn/CodeIgniter/trunk.

@Dan: great to see you back, haven't noticed you around in a bit! 1.5.5 is being actively "plotted". Probably be 3 more weeks or so... perhaps a bit more. We've got some pretty sexy stuff in there, much of which has made its way into the svn.

Development has been pretty furious the last week or two, as we're ramping up to get EE 2 out the door, some pretty significant stuff in plan. Developing an app for several hundred thousand users is a pretty interesting experience. So I can't commit to specific timelines or features, but I can tell you that you'll be happy, as there's a little bit of something for everyone.

Great guys!

I'm looking forward!

Cheers to you all.

Just for convenience of others, below is the current changelog for 1.5.5 taken from SVN

Code:

Version 1.5.5

Release Date: -- still in development
Added Flashdata variables, session_id regeneration and configurable session update times to the Session class.
Added the ability to auto-load Models
Added $this->DB->save_queries variable to DB driver, enabling queries to get saved or no. Previously they were always saved.
Added $assign_to_controller variable in the main index.php file. Anything that this variable contains will be passed automatically to a controller constructor when initialized.
Reorganized the URI and Routes classes for better clarity.
Javascript Calendar plugin now uses the months and days from the calendar language file, instead of hard-coded values, internationalizing it.
Removed "rand()" as a listed option from orderby in the Active Record, as it was MySQL only.
Added titles to all user manual pages.
Added a check for NULL fields in the MySQL database backup utility.
Documented the timezones() function in the Date Helper.

Fixed a bug in _html_entity_decode_callback() when 'global_xss_filtering' is enabled.

Is there any talk of adding a "permissions" class to ease development of user roles in an authenticated application? obviously the "session" class will help with some of that but just curious if this has been discussed at any level?

Me and Grahack once worked to isolate the simple permission schema we use in FreakAuth light.
We succeded, but never released it as a standalone.
Honestly, given that 1.5.5 will come soon, we will at least wait for it before any release.
