It might save people grief, occasionally, if Smarty were clever enough to clear out the cache if an upgrade has been preformed.

Each template could be compiled with something like:
Code:
$this->_check_version("2.6.11");

This function would compare the passed version to the version of the running Smarty.

It might also be desirable to clear the cache upon a PHP upgrade (?):
Code:
$this->_check_version("2.6.11", "5.1.1");


This might not seem all that useful; might not be worth implementing. I just thought of it while I was trying to solve a problem that occurs when running Smarty < 2.6.12 on a version of PHP >= 5.1.2. After upgrading Smarty, it looked as if the problem was still occuring. I then realized I needed to clear the cache...

This has been discussed several times on the dev mailing list and I think on this forum as well. Basically, this is considered an admin issue. If you search the archives, simple methods have been proposed that handle the situation for you. I use one myself in my extended Smarty class -- but I don't see the need for it being included in the base Smarty.
