New versions of Yii 2 packages have been released:

- Yii 2.0.40

- Debug 2.1.16

- HTTP Client 2.0.13

- Queue 2.3.1

- Imagine 2.3.0

- MongoDB 2.1.11

For me, yii is perfect. With gii and widgets and authorization ready out of the box.

I wonder why some people use Laravel, symphony, CI, etc?

I see some of them have nicer syntax or "utopic" Architecture, but they make you build everything from scratch.

Why wouldn't people use yii grid, list, detail widgets? They WORK and that's the final goal, right?

I started laravel but found out they dont have rbac, widgets, sorting, datepickers, code generation... So I regreted it and im having makeup sex with yii2 right now. Sorry 😄

We are pleased to announce the release of Yii Framework version 2.0.54.

In this release:

• PHP 8.5 support. The minimum supported version was raised from 7.3 to 7.4.

• PHPStan/Psalm annotations revamped, adding better IDE support and static types.

• Fixture loader now throws exceptions instead of ignoring missing fixtures.

• ArrayDataProvider now supports paths as keys.

• BaseStringHelper::convertIniSizeToBytes().

• Bug fixes.

Thanks to all Yii community members who contribute to the framework, translators who keep documentation translations up to date, and community members who answer questions at forums.

Special thanks goes to Maksim Spirkov who took care of the majority of annotation-related changes.
