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 intructions --------------------------- - 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.
