In any case it seems that Yii2 developments is going close to the Beta and only a few big breaking changes were made in the last month ;)
And yes - Russian version of this digest is available (see the link above) !
- Yii2 added to Scrutinizer-CI. Feel a power in your arms to make code smells better? Come on, investigate reports and contribute.
- First draf of REST api implementation from Qiang. See the code, read docs, make your suggestions ! It is not in master yet, but it has a lot of features implemented - quick prototyping, routing by HTTP verbs, authorization, HATEOAS etc.
- New look for a framework documentation. Combined with Class References. Now it's easier to read.
- Help needed to enhance api doc generator
- Help needed to fix issues in Yii2 to work with HHVM
- Support for fetching Query results in Batches. Very usefull when working with big data sets. Here is the docs for this
- Support for Nested Transactions
- Big change in Custom Scopes handling for ActiveRelation. Now additional Query class should be made per AR model if you want to have custom scopes.
- Fixed syntax consistency in Html::a, createUrl, redirect etc. At last ! :)
- Pjax widget. Allows to add Ajax update to other widgets or any form/link inside it and changes url in browser via pushState.
- GridView supports update via pjax
- Added getIsPjax method and HTTP_X_PJAX header
Special method
renderAjax> This method is similar torenderPartial()except that it will inject into the rendering result with JS/CSS scripts and files which are registered with the view. For this reason, you should use this method instead ofrenderPartial()to render a view to respond to an AJAX requestAdded support to parse JSON request data to Request::getRestParams()

Attributes are fields that are stored in db, public properties are not, but both can be validated.
- Yii2 extension generator in Gii module
- Bundled behaviors refactoring. AttributeStampBehavior, BlameableBehavior, TimestampBehavior. Also a proposal for a set of other behaviors like "SoftDelete", "Translatable" tec.
- Workflow for embedded documents usage in MongoDB ActiveRecord. I have had an experience workign with Mongo and embedded docs in Yii1 and I must say it's a pain in any case and require manual work
- New Fixtures handling - as classes, with dependencies, initialiser etc.
- Added ability to downgrade migrations by their absolute apply time
- Update for debug toolbar UI
Markdown extension from @cebe is now added as official one. I must say that's awesome work, and already really looks like introduced : > All existing implementations are either slow or not extensible so I decided to combine these two factors in a new implementation.
- DynamicModel - model class primarily used to support ad-hoc data validation
$model = DynamicModel::validateData(compact('name', 'email'), [ [['name', 'email'], 'string', 'max' => 128]], ['email', 'email'], ]);
