CodeIgniter 4.3.0 is now available. This release includes several changes, improvements and bug fixes.

CodeIgniter 4.3.0 is a powerful PHP framework with a very small footprint, built for PHP coders who need a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications.
If you’re a developer who lives in the real world of shared hosting accounts and clients with deadlines, and if you’re tired of ponderously large and thoroughly undocumented frameworks.
