+Version 4.6.5
+#############
+
+Release Date: February 1, 2026
+
+**4.6.5 release of CodeIgniter4**
+
+.. contents::
+    :local:
+    :depth: 3
+
+**********
+Bugs Fixed
+**********
+
+- **Database:** Fixed a bug where ``Seeder::call()`` did not pass the database connection to child seeders, causing them to use the default connection instead of the one specified via ``Database::seeder('group')``.
+- **HTTP:** Updated the Content Security Policy nonce generation to use base64 encoding instead of hexadecimal, ensuring compatibility with CSP specifications.
+
+See the repo's
+`CHANGELOG.md <https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md>`_
+for a complete list of bugs fixed.

+Using a Different Database Group
+================================
+
+You can specify a different database group when obtaining a seeder instance by passing the group name
+as the first parameter:
+
+.. literalinclude:: seeds/005.php
+
+When using ``call()`` to run child seeders, the database connection is automatically passed to them.
+This means child seeders will use the same connection as the parent seeder, unless they explicitly
+specify their own ``$DBGroup`` property.
+
+If a seeder needs to always use a specific database group regardless of the parent seeder's connection,
+you can set the ``$DBGroup`` property in the seeder class:
+
+.. literalinclude:: seeds/006.php
+
+The connection priority is:
+
+1. If ``$DBGroup`` is set in the seeder class, that connection group is always used
+2. Otherwise, if a connection was passed (from parent seeder via ``call()`` or from ``Database::seeder()``), it is used
+3. Otherwise, the default connection group is used

+###############
+Session Testing
+###############
+
+Testing session behavior in your application is made simple with the ArrayHandler session driver.
+Unlike other session drivers, ArrayHandler does not persist data to disk, database, or external storage.
+This allows you to simulate session interactions safely during unit or integration tests, without affecting real session data.
+
+Using this driver, you can set, retrieve, and assert session data entirely in memory, making your tests faster and more isolated.
+While in most production scenarios you would use file, database, or cache-backed sessions, ArrayHandler exists specifically to support testing workflows and prevent side effects.
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+Initializing Sessions
+=====================
+
+You can initialize a session using the ArrayHandler driver for testing. This example shows how to create a session instance with a proper configuration:
+
+.. literalinclude:: session_testing/001.php
+
+Setting and Retrieving Data
+===========================
+
+Once initialized, you can set session values and retrieve them as usual:
+
+.. literalinclude:: session_testing/002.php
+
+.. note::
+
+   Session data is stored in memory and lasts as long as the ArrayHandler object exists;
+   after the object is destroyed (typically at the end of a request or test), the data is lost.
+
+Example Test Case
+=================
+
+Here's a simple example demonstrating usage of the ArrayHandler in a PHPUnit test:
+
+.. literalinclude:: session_testing/003.php
+
+Session Assertions
+==================
+
+Using PHPUnit Assertions with ArrayHandler
+------------------------------------------
+
+When testing sessions directly with Session and ArrayHandler in a unit test, use standard PHPUnit assertions. 
+``assertSessionHas()`` and ``assertSessionMissing()`` are not available in this context because you are interacting directly with the session object,
+not a response object.
+
+.. literalinclude:: session_testing/004.php
+
+Session Assertions via TestResponse
+-----------------------------------
+
+When testing controllers or HTTP responses, you can use CodeIgniter 4’s session 
+assertion helpers, such as ``assertSessionHas()`` and ``assertSessionMissing()``,
+which are available on the ``TestResponse`` object. These helpers allow you to
+assert the state of the session during the HTTP request/response lifecycle.
+See more: :ref:`Session Assertions <response-session-assertions>`
+
+Custom Session Values
+=====================
+
+In Feature Tests, you can provide custom session data for a single test using the ``withSession()`` method.
+This allows you to simulate session states such as logged-in users or specific roles during the request.
+For full details and examples, see: :ref:`Setting Session Values <feature-setting-session-values>`
