Version 4.0.0-alpha.5

Release Date: Jan 30, 2019

Next alpha release of CodeIgniter4

.. contents:: :local: :depth: 2

Highlights

added $maxQueries setting to app/Config/Toolbar.php
updated PHP dependency to 7.2
new feature branches have been created for the email and queue modules, so they don't impact the release of 4.0.0
dropped several language messages that were unused (eg Migrations.missingTable) and added some new (eg Migrations.invalidType)
lots of bug fixes, especially for the database support
provided filters (CSRF, Honeypot, DebugToolbar) have been moved from app/Filters/ to system/Filters/
revisited the installation and tutorial sections of the user guide
code coverage is at 77% ... getting ever closer to our target of 80% :)

We hope this will be the last alpha, and that the next pre-release will be our first beta ... fingers crossed!
