Because Yii 1.1 has been widely used and it has received a lot of support from the community users, we decided to extend the end-of-maintenance date of Yii 1.1 to December 31, 2015. And if needed, we may further extend this date. This means we'll continue fixing important things, reviewing pull requests and answering questions about Yii 1.1, even after Yii 2 is released.
Today JetBrains announced the release of PhpStorm version 5 which adds initial support for the Yii framework.

We are very pleased to announce the immediate availability of Yii Framework version 1.1.12. You can download it from the Yii project site at

This release mainly fixes the BC-breaking issues we have found in the prior release. It includes about 20 bug fixes, minor features and enhancements. For the complete list of changes in this release, please see:
The recent update of DHTMLX, a JavaScript component library, introduces the possibility to integrate the client-side DHTMLX components with the Yii framework. DHTMLX delivers a rich collection of user interface components including rich-featured data grid, treeview, event calendar, and other.
The integration with Yii is done through the special PHP layer (dhtmlxConnector) that handles client-server data communication. dhtmlxConnector helps to integrate the DTHMLX JavaScript components with the model-view-controller (MVC) design pattern used in Yii.
There is a detailed tutorial that describes how to integrate data grid and event calendar in a Yii application. It shows how to bind the DHTMLX components to the database and update data on the server when the user makes changes on the client side.
The DHTMLX components are distributed under GNU General Public License v2. The commercial license is required for use in a proprietary project. More about DHTMLX: http://dhtmlx.com

The first Yii conference called YiiConf 2012 was held on May 19 in Kiev, Ukraine. It gathered more than 200 people from Yii Russian-speaking community. Since it was in Russian, we didn't announce it at yiiframework.com. The conference went extremely successful. We hereby are sharing some information with you.
It was really friendly and went with a good hacking spirit and, of course, a lot of informal talks and events that are often as interesting as the conferences themselves. In case of YiiConf both infomal activities and speeches were very good.
It's official now: Yii is on GitHub! We also switched to use GitHub issue tracker. Existing issues have already been imported into it.
Many users have requested for this, and we think it's a wise move to put Yii on GitHub to encourage more people to participate in developing Yii.
SVN users, do not worry. We will still keep our SVN repository. A synchronization between our git repository and svn repository will be done nightly.
Please let us know if you encounter any issues. Thank you for your support!
