EllisLab is looking for a new owner for CodeIgniter
Yesterday, on his blog, EllisLab announced a search for a new owner for its CodeIgniter framework ( link ). The decision was made on the basis of limited resources and the desire to concentrate on other products of the company. It is no secret to anyone that CI was quite slowly keeping pace with the times and in order to make a modern framework of it again, it would have to be completely rewritten, which EllisLab is not going to do.
From the comments to the post, we can conclude that most programmers will not sit and wait for something to happen with their framework in a month or a year. It is clear that if a company that now takes CI under its wing fails to support it at least at the same level as EllisLab did, then the framework will simply die. In any case, I would not start a big CI project right now.
So what are the alternatives for those who have worked with him for many years?
The first option is of course Kohan , another popular framework, which, although slower than we would like, moves with the times. The main task that now needs to be solved by Kohane so as not to go by the way of CI are namespaces, which have already become the standard for developing in PHP.
The second option, a fairly fresh framework about which I already wrote a little, is PHPixie . Like Kohana, he is very similar to Igniter in feelings, but unlike her, he is much more modern. PHPixie has its own Dependency Injection, modules are loaded using Composer and their own lightweight ORM is implemented.

For those who developed CodeIgniter and now would like to switch to the new framework, here are some great tutorials:
http://habrahabr.ru/post/111224/ - Acquaintance with Kohan
http://habrahabr.ru/post/178899/ - Create a video library with PHPixie.
It is also interesting to hear your thoughts about the future of CodeIgniter, as well as PHP as a whole.
