Detailed changelog

First release of RoadRunner adapter for Yii Runner was tagged.

Despite popular belief, PHP application doesn't have to die and re-initilize every request and, thanks to RoadRunner Yii3 application could work in "initilize once" mode. There are multiple profits in using RoadRunner:

1. Higher performance because all the framework initialization is done only once and the initialized worker may handle multiple request-responses.
2. Tight Golang-PHP integration via Goridge RPC protocol.
3. HTTP/2, gRPC, PSR-7 out of the box.
4. Easy to pack into Docker since there's no need for PHP-FPM. Responses are served directly as HTTP.

First release of Yii Runner was tagged. A runner hides application initialization details making configuration process easier.

For example, instead of complicated initialization, the following is enough for HTTP application's index.php:

<?php

]
//...
