Yii PHP Framework

We are very pleased to announce the beta release of Yii Framework v1.1! You can download this new release from the Yii download site:

In this beta release, we fixed several minor bugs that were found in the previous alpha release. We also included some minor feature enhancements. In particular, we added support for using table prefix in Yii DAO and ActiveRecord. We refactored the sorting support so that it is more flexible. We also added support for using customized locale data when developing multi-language applications.

Besides the changes made in the core framework, we also made significiant progress in the zii project (the official extension library for Yii). We have completed the encapsulation of the jQuery UI (JUI) library and introduced a full set of widgets to facilitate using JUI plugins.

Thank you for your support!
