CodeIgniter 4.0.0-rc.2 released

CodeIgniter-4.0.0-rc.2  launches today

This is a pre-release of 4.0.0. It is not suitable for production! (but it is pretty darn close)

Highlights:

• query builder testability simplified with new property, but dropped method parameters (breaking change)
  
• database, migrations and sessions beefed up
  
• numerous smaller bugs corrected
  
• App changes: Config/Constants, Paths & some config settings have had changes
  

Check the changelog for details, and the installation writeup for further directions.

Looking to upgrade from CI3 to CI4?
Generated API docs accessible at https://codeigniter4.github.io/api/

This is our second release candidate! A number of things have been fixed, and it is looking pretty good
There are still a few more things to fix, but we wanted to let you know about the database testig
There will probably be one more release candidate, once we fix the outstanding bugs, and then we should have the stable version launch!
We need to know what remains in the way of hiccups!

Thank you to the community for stepping up to help make this the best PHP framework!
