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:

Code:
    * 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!

You can checkout Smarty 3 Alpha with SVN:
svn checkout http://smarty-php.googlecode.com/svn/branches/Smarty3Alpha/

One other note: {php}{/php} tags are deprecated. That is, they are GONE in Smarty 3. If you really want them, you'll have to make your own block function. In hind site I wish it never existed, but now is our chance to remove support for it entirely.

Never needed the {php} tags. But I tested it with a previous 3.0 build (a month age I think) and it worked. Were they removed in one of the latest builds?
