We have optimized Yii for the upcoming 1.0.1 release. Compared with 1.0.0, the new version is improved by 10 to 80 percent in the maximum RPS. This further widens the performance gap between Yii and other frameworks! Please check out the performance comparison page, which was updated to include the latest versions of other frameworks.
Wei used his expertise on search and added site-wide searching capability to our website. It allows us to search for four types of information (forum, guide, class reference and extension) using a single unified interface! And the searching is done in just a glimpse of time.
We are proud to announce that the first stable release of Yii is now available!
The Definitive Guide to Yii is now available in PDF format. Thanks to Wei Zhuo for his nice PDF conversion script!
The extension repository system is now ready. You may share your Yii extensions with others using this system. Please let us know if you have suggestions or find any problems using this system. We hope the system can grow to a degree that it allows one to build up a Web application more quickly with the extensions.
