Welcome to Yii !
We are proud to announce that Yii 1.0 RC version is released.
Yii is a high-performance component-based PHP framework for developing large-scale Web applications. Yii is written in strict OOP and comes with thorough class reference and comprehensive tutorials. From MVC, DAO/ActiveRecord, widgets, caching, hierarchical RBAC, Web services, to theming, I18N and L10N, Yii provides nearly every feature needed by today's Web 2.0 application development. And all these come without incurring much overhead. As a matter of fact, Yii is one of the most efficient PHP frameworks around.
You are welcome to try Yii. Please download Yii from the download page and read the definitive guide to Yii to get get started.
Note, since this is an RC version, it may still be subject to changes that break backward compatibility. Therefore, be cautious if you intend to use it in production.
