Version 1.0.9

A few hours ago, the release of the next, as always long-awaited, release of the Yii framework 1.0.9 was announced.

As always, briefly consider a few noteworthy innovations.

• Added CActiveRecord :: beforeFind method and onBeforeFind event.
• Added CActiveRecord :: deleteAllByAttributes method for more convenient and flexible deletion
• Increased lazy loading speed by avoiding JOINs where possible.
• It is allowed to use the slash character in the address suffix when the strict parsing mode is enabled
• Added CApplication :: timeZone property
• Improved AR speed by skipping events if there are no listeners for these events.
• Added methods CLocale :: getMonthNames and CLocale :: getWeekDayNames , which return the names of the months and days of the week, respectively. Moreover, they return in a different form: extended, shortened, and in the form of an abbreviation.
• The CDbCriteria :: addCondition () method has been added , which allows you to attach new conditions to existing ones.

Attention! Upgrading to version 1.0.9 is generally safe, except that you need to pay attention to lazy loading of related objects in ActiveRecord. Since the linked table is no longer connected via the JOIN to the main table, you should avoid referencing the main table in the description of the query of the corresponding relationship.
