We are very pleased to announce that Yii Framework version 1.1.21 is released. You can download it at yiiframework.com/download/.

This release is a release of Yii 1.1 that has reached maintenance mode and will, only receive necessary security fixes and fixes to adjust the code for compatibility with PHP 7 if they do not cause breaking changes. This allows you to keep your servers PHP version up to date in the environments where old Yii 1.1 applications are hosted and stay within the version ranges supported by the PHP team. Yii 1.1.21 is compatible with PHP 7.3 that, at the time of this writing, has an announced security support until December 6, 2021.

We recommend to use Yii 2.0 for new projects as well as introducing Yii 2.0 for developing new features in existing Yii 1.1 apps, as described in the Yii 2 guide. Upgrading a whole app to Yii 2.0 will, in most cases, result in a total rewrite so this option provides a way for upgrading step by step and allows you to keep old applications up to date even with low budget.

In order for such a big project as Yii to function properly, we need core contributors watching it constantly: making sure it goes in the right way, managing releases, making decisions. Time proved that while it is possible to do it having a full-time job, it is not as focused, fast and committing as needed.

Previously it was possible to support Yii in many ways: contributing code, participating in community activities, translating documentation. Donating to the project was not among them. The reasons for it were that:

• We are not the best about paperwork.
• The idea of how to spend money for the good of the project was very vague.
