Last year Yii was chosen to be in session 3 of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund as a project that impacts a significant part of the PHP landscape.

We were in good company together with many wonderful projects such as LLVM, Node.js, CPython, curl, ImageMagick, webpack, and jQuery.

It was quite an experience. We've verified that we were already doing well and learned and adopted new things. As a result, Yii became an even more secure base for your projects.

It happened! Yii3 is officially released after years of intensive development and polishing.

Yii was always following the same principles of being performant, flexible but with good defaults, practice-oriented, simple, explicit, and consistent. Yii3 is not an exception.

While Yii 1.1 and Yii 2.0 are good frameworks, Yii3 was born to improve things even more, addressing the following drawbacks:

1. Yii 2.0 had a closed ecosystem with difficulties configuring general PHP packages.
2. Some magic and implicitness. Non-standard PHP behavior for objects introduced in Yii 2.0.
3. PHP standards compatibility and modern PHP usage were not in place due to backwards compatibility constraints.
4. Some anti-patterns, such as the service locator being available out of the box. That was affecting overall projects' testability and maintainability in the long run.

We are very pleased to announce the release of Redis extension version 2.1.0.

This version fixes one PHP 8.4 compatibility issue that was found since last release, adds support for predis, changes yii\redis\Cache::$forceClusterMode to false, and makes yii\redis\Connection implement yii\redis\ConnectionInterface.

See the CHANGELOG for details.
