Yii2 dev digest #7 Apr'14

Lucky 7th digest dedicated to Beta release . Not so much really new to say after Beta release notes on Yii site, but I can't stay away :)
Thanks for a big PR campaign by Alexander Makarov (@sam_dark), previous dev digest was seen by more than 5500 people. Quite impressive and gives me more inspiration to make new reviews! As usual - Russian version of this digest is available (see the link above) !
tl;dr;
Yii2 beta Release, PSR-2, DI, new RBAC, consistent Url helper, a lot of new widgets

Dev stack abbreviations became more and more popular (MEAN vs LAMP etc.), StrongLoop introduces BACN - stack for mobile applications.
