CodeIgniter-4.0.0-rc.1  launches today

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

Highlights:

• Migrations refactored and streamlined for more wholistic functionality (BC)
  
• CI3 Email ported to CI4
  
• Encryption (basic) added
  
• RESTful controllers added to shorten dev time for RESTful APIs
  
• New messages for Migrations and RESTful
  
  

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 first release candidate! A number of things have been fixed, and it is looking pretty good 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!

Awesome. I can't wait to try the RESTful library. I've been waiting for this since 2.x.

Anyone more knowledgeable in composer that I am may point me in the right direction how to update a beta4 project to rc. Tried changing the require to [email protected] but no go.

Unofficially, many are already.

Are you talking about the appstarter, framework or devstarter?
The installation method is relevant to your update.
