Yii news 2023, issue 1.
Published on February 11, 2023 by Wilmer Arambula
Hello everyone! It is Alexander Makarov and the first issue of Yii news this year.
Everything goes up and down in the world as well as in team member's lives but what remains the same is our devotion to Yii. We love the framework and community behind it and we continue the project despite everything.
And now, I give the word to Wilmer Arambula who joined the news initiative so it's getting more interesting and diverse.
First of all, we want to thank all our Open Collective contributors for the support of the increase of $1 to $5 in the minimum contribution. This effort allows us to spend more time on Yii1 and Yii2, as well as on upcoming Yii3.
After the holidays in December, and January, we continued with the development and maintenance of YiiFramework. During this free time, the team focused heavily on completing the Validator, Db, Debug and other improvements and corrections in all our packages.
