• Converted UploadedFile to use system messages
  
• Numerous database, migration & model bugs fixed
  
• Refactored unit testing for appstarter & framework distributions
   
  

New messages:

• Database.tableNotFound
  
• HTTP.uploadErr...
  

App folder changes:

• app/Config/Cache has new setting: database
  
• app/Views/welcome_message has logo tinted
  
• composer.json has a case correction
  
• env adds CI_ENVIRONMENT suggestion
  

Check the changelog for details, and the installation writeup for further directions.
Looking to upgrade from CI3 to CI4?

We expect 2-3 beta rounds, as we continue to fix remaining bugs and tighten up the code.
We don't plan any official release on April 1st, just so you know
Thank you to the community for stepping up to help make this the best PHP framework!
