Well, now consider the major improvements.

New class CPasswordHelper

CPasswordHelper provides a reliable method for storing and verifying password hashes. Using it is very simple:

 //  ,      . $password     $hash = CPasswordHelper::hashPassword($password); // $hash —  ,     , $password     if (CPasswordHelper::verifyPassword($password, $hash) //   else //   

New method CDbCommandBuilder::createMultipleInsertCommand()

Using CDbCommandBuilder::createMultipleInsertCommand() it became possible to insert several records in one request:

 $builder=Yii::app()->db->schema->commandBuilder; $command=$builder->createMultipleInsertCommand('tbl_post', array( array('title' => 'record 1', 'text' => 'text1'), array('title' => 'record 2', 'text' => 'text2'), )); $command->execute(); 

CRedisCache

Now the application can be configured to store the cache in Redis. Done via `protected / config / main.php`:

 array( // ... 'components'=>array( 'cache'=>array( 'class'=>'CRedisCache', 'hostname'=>'localhost', 'port'=>6379, 'database'=>0, ), ), ) 

Installing Yii as a Composer package :

Yii can now be installed via Composer . For this you need to add
following in composer.json .

 "yiisoft/yii": "dev-master" 

Automatic user logout after a certain time

If you need the user to log out after a strictly defined time, regardless of his activity, do so.
can be so:

  // ... 'components'=>array( 'user'=>array( // ... 'absoluteAuthTimeout' => 60*60*24; ), ), ) 

RANGE support when uploading files

When using CHttpRequest::sendFile Yii now correctly responds to RANGE requests, that is, the end user
gets more speed when downloading in multiple streams.

Using through with BELONGS_TO

The “through” option can now be used with CActiveRecord::BELONGS_TO . More about this
written in the full manual .

Selective logging of global variables

CLogFilter::$logVars now accepts an array of arrays in which you can specify what to log from $GLOBALS :

  'components'=>array( 'log'=>array( 'class'=>'CLogRouter', 'routes'=>array( array( 'class'=>'system.logging.CWebLogRoute', 'filter'=>array( 'class'=>'system.logging.CLogFilter', 'logVars'=>array( '_COOKIE', //  , < 1.1.14 array('_SERVER','REMOTE_ADDR'), //  , >= 1.1.14 array('_SERVER','HTTP_USER_AGENT'), //  , >= 1.1.14 ), ), ), ), ), ), 

The above configuration will log the following:

 $_COOKIE=array ( '__utma' => '111872281.473431406.1366046648.1366046648.1366046648.1', '__utmz' => '111872281.1366046648.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)', 'cartVisible' => '1', '96ab4aec0c2977c9b793d4ba009eb3ce' => '...', 'PHPSESSID' => 'vb8pk7obs3q2lc7bl8ield7si7', ) $_SERVER.REMOTE_ADDR='::1' $_SERVER.HTTP_USER_AGENT='Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0' 

New CLocalizedFormatter

The new CLocalizedFormatter class allows CLocalizedFormatter to format values ​​according to the current locale:

 'components'=>array( 'format'=>array( 'class'=>'system.utils.CLocalizedFormatter', 'locale'=>'en_US', ), 'germanFormat'=>array( 'class'=>'system.utils.CLocalizedFormatter', 'locale'=>'de_DE', ), 'russianFormat'=>array( 'class'=>'system.utils.CLocalizedFormatter', 'locale'=>'ru_RU', ), ), 

 echo Yii::app()->format->formatDatetime(time()) . "\n"; echo Yii::app()->germanFormat->formatDatetime(time()) . "\n"; echo Yii::app()->russianFormat->formatDatetime(time()) . "\n"; // Jul 7, 2013 9:34:56 PM // 07.07.2013 21:34:56 // 07.07.2013, 21:34:56 

Generation of field names from DB comments

Gii can now use table field comments as field names for the generated model. For example,
if the table is created as follows:

 CREATE TABLE `tbl_user` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `first_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL COMMENT ':', `last_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Nachname:', `title` varchar(50) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Title (eg Mr., Mrs., etc.):', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1; 

The generated attributeLabels method will be as follows (if you select “Use Column Comments as Attribute Labels” in Gii):

 /** * @return array customized attribute labels (name=>label) */ public function attributeLabels() { return array( 'id' => 'ID', 'first_name' => ':', 'last_name' => 'Nachname:', 'title' => 'Title (eg Mr., Mrs., etc.):', ); } 

New methods in CSecurityManager

Added to CSecurityManager :

* CSecurityManager::generateSessionRandomBlock() : generates a random byte sequence based on the current session
user
* CSecurityManager::generatePseudoRandomBlock() : an improved alternative to mt_rand() .
* CSecurityManager::generateRandomBytes() : generates random binary data. Crypt resistance is set second
by argument. It is worth noting that the generation is rather slow.
* CSecurityManager::generateRandomString() : generates a random string. Crypto resistance is given by the second argument.
It is worth noting that the generation is rather slow.
