Release 17 consists mainly of bug fixes. Two new features include an "identicon" library for generating unique graphics and a simple database backup tool. Over 200 individual changes are present in release 17, meaning that a lot of bugs were fixed and a lot of code was cleaned up. One big change was the addition of the "Cgn_Request::cleanMultiLine()" method. cleanString() will no longer allow new lines in the input. cleanMultiLine() does allow new line characters, but strips all ASCII control characters, like backspace and vertical tab.

All code which cleans input needs to differentiate between code which should accept new line characters and those which should not. If you are cleaning input which comes from a text area you need to switch to cleanMultiLine().

Database changes required: no Changes to config file definitions: yes Breaking changes to custom code: no *New fields were added for module overrides and module customizations

• Changed bootstrap and Cgn_ObjectStore to use lazy loading techniques. Cached config settings are even faster now.
