While writing a job description I discovered I didn’t know how to write this:
[indent]Develop server-side webapp pages using Yii 2 Framework.[/indent]
I need to specify version 2 for various reasons. 2.0 would be wrong because I would upgrade to whatever is newest.
But is that the right position for the "2"? Should it be at the end? Should a "v" or "V" be involved and if so, does it need a period?
Until now it was simple: "Yii Framework" is clearly the preferred form for the full name. I think Yii 2 is sufficiently different and better that it can profit from its own distinct name. For example, the Symfony folk seem to have chosen "Symfony2" to brand their v2.
