Hi there,
Just noticed an old post, where the creator of Yii says: We may consider rewriting Yii 2.0 on top of PHP 5.3, but this won't happen in the near future.
But on Yii download page, one can read: Yii 2.0 is going to be a complete rewrite of the framework on top of PHP 5.3.0+. Yii 2.0 will not be compatible with previous versions.
And I must admit that this scares me a bit more than I excepted. I know that December 2011 is over a year ahead and maybe Yii 2.0 release will be delayed. But even so... How to interpret these words? Does it mean that with official release of Yii 2.0 I will have two options: stay on unsupported version of Yii or completely rewrite my whole webapps from scratch?
What is so bad and ugly in PHP 5.2 and in Yii that a complete rewrite with no backward compatibility is required?
