Smarty 3 is almost here!

[24-Sep-2009] Yes, yes I know. The Smarty 3 beta is taking much longer than expected, but we wanted to be sure we had everything right. Our preliminary performance tests are already showing us very promising speed improvements over Smarty 2 (2-5x on average), and we're not done! To recap, Smarty 3 is a 100% rewrite from the ground up, and it is PHP 5 only. We will be getting a feature list up with the Beta, but let me give a quick summary:

• PHP5 OO design
• SPEED
• Object Chaining
• Exception Error Handling
• Assigned Data Objects
• Multiple Template Objects
• Static Object Access
• Pure PHP Template Option
• Powerful Parser/Lexer
• Tons of Template Syntax Enhancements
• Improved Data Scoping Features
• Variable Filters (ie. auto-html-escape)
• In-template Functions (easy recursion)
• Template Inheritance
• PHP Streams Support (per template/variable/include)
• Smart javascript/css handling (no more {literal} tags)
• Improved Cache handling (per template/variable/function)
• Many other things too numerous!

There are many folks using the Alpha in production, and with this feedback we feel the Beta is going to be very stable to begin with. Feel free to grab the Alpha and give it a test! We want feedback!

Smarty 2.6.26 Released

[18-Jun-2009] This release addresses super global access such as {$smarty.get.foo}.

The read-only access changes for super globals have been reverted, please use ALLOW_SUPER_GLOBALS for security.

ChangeLog here. download it here.

Smarty 2.6.23 Released

[13-May-2009] This release addresses a correction with the {math} plugin where backticks were not properly sanitized, creating a possible shell execution, even from a secure template. There are no known sequences that actually do anything, but removing backticks will rule out any question. Also addressed, templates that exist but are not readable now create a proper error message. Super global access from templates are now read-only, so it's no longer possible to do something like {$smarty.session.foo++}

Smarty 2.6.22 Released
