Announcement: Smarty template engine 2.4.2 released

Hello! Smarty 2.4.2 now supports the ability to access objects within the templates, a long awaited feature. Two methods are available, one which closely follows Smartys existing syntax conventions, and another that follows more traditional object syntax for those familiar with PHP. The regex parsing was rewritten to be more strict, secure and maintainable. Config files are now compiled instead of parsed. Assigned variables are no longer extracted to PHP namespace saving extract() calls. There is now support for applying modifiers to static values and functions. You can now access constants with $smarty.const.VAR. If you use the security features of Smarty be sure to upgrade, the previous not-so-strict parser opened the possibility of executing PHP in the templates. Other misc things are in the change log. Have fun! -Monte Homepage: http://smarty.php.net/ Release Notes: http://smarty.php.net/misc/RELEASE_NOTES ChangeLog: http://smarty.php.net/misc/NEWS Download: http://smarty.php.net/download.php
