Download Yii Framework

Yii is an open source project released under the terms of the BSD License. This means that you can use Yii for free to develop either open-source or proprietary Web applications.

The latest stable version of Yii is 1.1. You may safely use this version in your production Web applications. Continued support and bug fixes for this version will be provided until December 31, 2012. Our next major version will be 2.0.

  Yii Framework 1.1.x Yii Framework 1.0.x Yii Framework 2.0
Latest Release 1.1.9 (Jan 1, 2012) 1.0.12 (Mar 14, 2010)

While Yii 1.1 has proven to be great success, we will not stop here.

Our next major release Yii 2.0 will be built on top of PHP 5.3.0+. It will not be fully compatible with 1.1.x. However, we will try every effort to make the transition as easy as possible.

Note: We are currently actively developing Yii 2.0. The earliest possible 2.0 alpha release may be in March 2012, but we cannot guarantee it.

Subversion Access

You can obtain the latest development version of Yii from our subversion (SVN) repository. The easiest way to browse through the repository is using the source code browser. However, we recommend that you install an SVN client on your machine for better access. TortoiseSVN is a highly recommended client on Windows.

The source code repository can be accessed anonymously using the following command,

svn checkout http://yii.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ yii-read-only
