Upgrading Instructions for Yii Framework v2

!!!IMPORTANT!!!

The following upgrading instructions are cumulative. That is, if you want to upgrade from version A to version C and there is version B between A and C, you need to following the instructions for both A and B.

General upgrade instructions

  • Make a backup.
  • Clean up your 'assets' folder.
  • Replace 'framework' dir with the new one or point SVN to a fresh release and update.
  • Check if everything is OK, if not — revert from backup and post issues to Yii issue tracker.

Upgrading from v1.1.x

  • All framework classes are now namespaced, and the name prefix C is removed.

  • The format of path alias is changed to @yii/base/Component. In 1.x, this would be system.base.CComponent. See guide for more details.

  • The root alias @yii now represents the framework installation directory. In 1.x, this is named as system. We also removed zii root alias.

  • CList is renamed to Vector, and CMap is renamed to Dictionary. Other collection classes are dropped in favor of SPL classes.

  • CFormModel is removed. Please use yii\base\Model instead.
