Where to download Codeigniter 3.0-dev

[eluser]TomTom[/eluser]
Pardon me if the question is dumb, I've just found on Wikipedia that a preview release of Codeigniter 3.0 is available since 20/10/2011. Where can I find and download that Development version?

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
All versions are on github. You'd want the "develop" branch. Keep in mind it's a work in progress and isn't an "official" released version, yet.

Thanks CroNiX. I was looking for it on GitHub, but still can't seem to find the 3.0-dev version. When I select Develop branch and click on ZIP, I get a file named "EllisLab-CodeIgniter-v2.1.0-2016-gd207c92.zip". Obviously, it's not 3.0

Can you please provide me with a direct link, if that's not too much to ask? Thanks.

[eluser]CroNiX[/eluser]
That's the correct one. It won't be named 3.0 until it's finished and released. The develop branch is always the "next" release. "2.1 stable" branch is the same as what you can download from this site.

Aaah, cool. Thanks for the explanation.

When you install and run it it will show dev3.0

Hey guys, just want to give the official word on whats happening with development.

We follow a slightly modified approach of version management to Git Flow, but instead of just one develop branch there are effectively two:

2.1-stable
develop

These names might need to be made a little more obvious, but effectively those branches contain the "next version" in 2.1.x and 3.x (there will be no 2.2.x).

2.1-stable is not exactly the same as you'll find on the website homepage. Those releases are "Tags", and a branch can contain multiple commits after a tag. 2.1-stable will be used to create 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 if we need it and should always be stable enough to use, but is obviously not identical to the homepage link which has 2.1.0 in it at the moment.

As for develop, it's pretty stable! I'm using it for PyroCMS 2.1.x which is out in the wild, so don't be scared to use it. It also has substantially more features and a lot of unit tests in place, meaning you can be sure most stuff works pretty well

Get involved guys, it will be a little while before 3.0 is officially out but the more people that get involved the quicker it will be here and the better it will become.

Phil thank you so much for the update. It's great news.

As much as I would love to help, I don't think my knowledge is anywhere close to sufficient for me to get involved But I'll do all I can to find out if there are any ways for me to get involved.

Codeigniter rocks.

Grab yourself a copy of 3.0 via Git or even just download the zip and take a look at any issues. If you can prove or disprove an issue then it helps us immensely.

Just generally providing feedback, saying if you can recreate the error, etc is very useful. Also voting on pull requests can be useful too.

Will do! Thanks for the guidance.
