[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTML_Template_Sigma-1.1.0 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package HTML_Template_Sigma-1.1.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- * Fixed #876 (get_class() and get_class_methods() usage with PHP5) Unit tests run on PHP5, all tests pass. * Added clearVariables() method (see also #939) * Added shorthand syntax for callbacks: {var:callback} instead of func_callback({var}) * Added builtin callbacks 'h' for htmlspecialchars() 'u' for urlencode() 'j' to escape the string for usage in Javascript This release is dedicated to Lukas Smith Package Info ------------- HTML_Template_Sigma implements Integrated Templates API designed by Ulf Wendel. Features: * Nested blocks. Nesting is controlled by the engine. * Ability to include files from within template: <!-- INCLUDE --> * Automatic removal of empty blocks and unknown variables (methods to manually tweak/override this are also available) * Methods for runtime addition and replacement of blocks in templates * Ability to insert simple function calls into templates: func_uppercase('Hello world!') and to define callback functions for these * 'Compiled' templates: the engine has to parse a template file using regular expressions to find all the blocks and variable placeholders. This is a very "expensive" operation and is an overkill to do on every page request: templates seldom change on production websites. Thus this feature: an internal representation of the template structure is saved into a file and this file gets loaded instead of the source one on subsequent requests (unless the source changes) * PHPUnit-based tests to define correct behaviour * Usage examples for most of the features are available, look in the docs/ directory Related Links ------------- Package home: http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_Template_Sigma Changelog: http://pear.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=HTML_Template_Sigma Download: http://pear.php.net/get/HTML_Template_Sigma-1.1.0.tgz Authors ------------- Alexey Borzov (lead)
