CodeIgniter 3.0.6 Released

After all these things with DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in index.php,
the last line ends with:
'core/CodeIgniter.php'
! ? !

Shouldn't the last line be ?
require_once BASEPATH.'core' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'CodeIgniter.php';

Sure ... we were in a hurry to release a fix for a critical issue allowing anybody to bypass form validation, but your response is to rant about the tiniest possible inconsistency.

All these "things with DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in index.php" affect constant values that you can use and therefore can affect your own logic; a hard-coded require_once() does not affect you.
