INTRODUCTION

This template is Fixed Bower version of Yii 2 basic application, which required yidas/yii2-bower-asset for updating composer with Bower asset.

In this template, Bower packages are fixed for current version relating to Yii2 core, so you need to manually update Bower-Asset when needed.
