Hi Derek, thanks for letting me know about Code Igniter's status with respect to 5.3. It's not that I *need* a version that is 5.3 compatible, it's just something that would be nice to have so I could keep my own dev environment at 5.3 instead of back in the 5.2 series.

If 1.7.2 works with 5.3, then I will update our project that uses it when it comes out.

Ah, but is it *production* ready? ;)
