Where can I read about all the innovations in Yii 2 and the framework in general?

Question

Yii

I recently learned about the release of yii 2. Where can I find complete information about the innovations in detail? I came across a situation in which you need to choose Laravel 5 or yii 2, but what are the advantages, for example, of Yii or laravel? I found a little about laravel, but not about Yii... Thank you!

Answer 1

In English, there is already a lot of information about these frames. On Habré on Monday they made a detailed post about the release, it is strange that you did not find it:
Yii 2.0 Release
+ before the release, they wrote 1000 times about all the chips of the framework.
Here is another useful article:
7 reasons to choose the Yii 2.0 framework
I can’t say anything sensible about Laravel, but I know that the frameworks are fundamentally different.
Verdict: read the habr!
