Consider the most interesting changes.

A more convenient way to define `through` in an ActiveRecord relationship

The though option was added in version 1.1.7, but the syntax was not very convenient, so it was decided to make it more explicit. The current syntax uses the following syntax:

'comments' => array (self :: HAS_MANY, 'Comment', array ('key1' => 'key2'), 'through' => 'posts'),

In the above array('key1'=>'key2'):

- key1is the key defined in the relation that is indicated in through(in our case, this posts).
- key2is the key defined in the model that the relation indicates (in our case, this Comment).

through can be used for both HAS_ONE and HAS_MANY .

This feature is described in more detail in the Relational Active Record section of the complete guide.

Support for condition groups in Model :: relations ()

Now you can use condition groups when defining model relationships:

'recentApprovedComments' => array (self :: BELONGS_TO, 'Post', 'post_id', 
    'scopes' => array ('approved', 'recent')),

When using only one group of conditions, it can be specified as a string.

Ability to make JOIN between models by given keys

In this version, it became possible to create relations for a given pair PK-> FK without relying on a data scheme. This means that, for example, you can specify the following relationship for the model Day:

'jobs' => array (self :: HAS_MANY, 'Job', array ('date' => 'target_date')),

In this case, it Daymay contain several Jobs. However, they are not connected in the usual way. We set the key in the form array('fk'=>'pk'), that is, at the output we get SQL like

SELECT * FROM day t
JOIN job ON t.date = job.target_date

Ability to override kernel classes with Yii :: $ classMap

Starting from 1.1.5, in Yii, it was possible to import classes in advance and use them without explicit import or include. Now using the same approach, you can override the kernel classes .
