Yii3 is released

Yii3 has been officially released after years of development, marking a major evolution from Yii 2.0. The new version transforms from a monolithic framework into an ecosystem of 130+ independent packages that work with any PHP library. Key improvements include first-class dependency injection, PSR standards compliance, worker mode support for better performance, minimalistic application templates, and enhanced security features. The framework maintains its focus on performance and flexibility while addressing previous limitations like closed ecosystems and anti-patterns. It includes comprehensive tooling for both traditional web applications and APIs, with robust database abstraction, caching, validation, internationalization, and testing support.
