Changelog v1.8.0 hotfix 1

composer.json now installs (or upgrades to) Monolog version 1.18, due to security reports about the previously recommended version (1.5.x).

The index.php frontloader has been modified to support direct uri requests from caught exceptions, so you are no longer limited to predefined routes.
Running the initial security clean (and optional automatic CSRF token check) has been moved to after the initialisation of the framework is complete. This means that on security exceptions, the shutdown event is now properly defined, and all "always_load" sections have been processed.

DB: a regression was fixed that generated SQL errors when using savepoints.
DB: a regression was fixed that caused count queries to fail when they had subqueries.
Debug: fixed issues when dumping objects while having XDebug >= 2.4 installed.
Image: several fixes to the Image class when processing images using alpha-blending. Transparency already present in source images is no longer lost.
Mongo: you can now set the readPreference in the config.
Session: a bug was fixed in the File driver that caused incorrect paths to be computed on Windows.
Validation: now has the option to specifically validate an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
View: there is now support for dots in view names (so loading "view.xyz" will now load view file "view.xyz.php" correctly).

Orm: A bug causing related data in a many-many relation to be skipped in the final result has been fixed.
Orm: A weird issue that surfaced in PHP 7 and caused ORM object original data to be corrupted has been worked around (real cause still not known).
Parser: there is now support for dots in view names (so loading "view.xyz" will now load view files like "view.xyz.tpl" correctly).
