We are very pleased to announce that Yii Framework version 1.1.24 is released.
You can download it at yiiframework.com/download/.
Yii 1.1 end of life was scheduled on 2021-12-31, however through support from our community we are pleased to announce extended support until 2023-12-31. This still only applies to security and compatibility fixes. See Release Cycle | Yii PHP Framework for more details.
This release is a release of Yii 1.1 that has reached maintenance mode and will, only receive necessary security fixes and fixes to adjust the code for compatibility with PHP 7 and 8 if they do not cause breaking changes.
This allows you to keep your servers PHP version up to date in the environments where old Yii 1.1 applications are hosted and stay within the version ranges supported by the PHP team.
Yii 1.1.24 includes mostly some minor fixes and enhancements. It also updates jQuery and jQueryUI to the latest versions of 1.x. Please see the upgrade instructions below for possible breaking changes.
For the complete list of changes in this release, please see the change log.
For upgrading, always make sure to read the upgrade instructions.
We recommend to use Yii 2.0 for new projects as well as introducing Yii 2.0 for developing new features in existing Yii 1.1 apps, as described in the Yii 2 guide.
Upgrading a whole app to Yii 2.0 will, in most cases, result in a total rewrite so this option provides a way for upgrading step by step and allows you to keep old applications up to date even with low budget.
We would like to express our gratitude to all contributors who have spent their precious time helping improve Yii and made this release possible.
