[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTML_Template_Sigma-0.9 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package HTML_Template_Sigma-0.9 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Initial PEAR release 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 * Callback functions (NOT RECOMMENDED, API may change in future release) * '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) Related Links ------------- Package home: http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?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-0.9.tgz Authors ------------- Alexey Borzov (lead)
