-2.5.0
------
-
-Very minor adjustments since RC2, see the NEWS file for details.
-
-2.5.0-RC2
----------
-
-Many fixes since the RC1 release. This one is as close to production quality as
-they come, so this will be the last release before 2.5.0. The SGML documentation
-files have also been removed from the tarball. If you want them, get them from
-the CVS repository.
-
-2.5.0-RC1
----------
-
-Release Candidate 1. All $smarty vars can now be dynamic, such as
-$smarty.get.$foo. A new class function get_function_object() gets you a
-reference to an assigned object, useful within your own custom functions.
-append() can now merge as well as append with a third optional attribute. A new
-class function get_config_vars() was added, and get_template_vars() can now be
-used to get individual vars. Full variable syntax is now supported within
-double quotes via a backtick (`) syntax. Files created by smarty are now
-written to a tmp file then renamed to avoid file lock retention. html_radios,
-html_checkboxes, html_table, html_image, nl2br functions added, see the NEWS
-file for full details.
-
-2.4.2
------
-Another point release. Added support for dynamic object reference syntax
-($foo->$bar), support for full variable syntax within quotes ("$foo[0].bar"),
-and other minor fixes. See the NEWS file for full details.
-
-2.4.1
------
-
-This is basically a point release, cleaning up a few things caught
-in the 2.4.0 release. See the NEWS file for full details.
-
-2.4.0
------
-
-Smarty now supports the ability to access objects within the templates. Two
-methods are available, one which closely follows Smartys conventions, and
-another that follows more traditional object syntax for those familiar with
-PHP.
-
-The internal compiling engine has also undergone some major work. The regex
-parsing was rewritten to be much more strict, more secure and more
-maintainable. Config files are now compiled, which can speed up pages quite a
-bit that use config files extensively. Assigned variables are no longer
-extracted to PHP namespace, saving an extract call for every template. There is
-now support for applying modifiers to static values and functions. You can now
-access constants with $smarty.const.VAR. See the NEWS file for complete
-changes.
-
-2.3.1
------
-
-The mtime on compiled files will now match the source files, in the case where
-the source file may not get the current timestamp, recompiling will still work
-as expected. Proper support for open_basedir has been added, so Smarty should
-work correctly in safe mode. Added a few new features such as textformat block
-function, strip variable modifier and optgroup support for html_options. Also
-other minor bug fixes, see the Change Log.
-
-2.3.0
------
-
-Smarty now has a {debug} template function that brings up the debugging console
-right where {debug} is called, regardless of $debugging settings. This works a
-little different than turning on $debugging in the sense that it shows all the
-template variables available at the time {debug} is called, including local
-scope vars. It does not show the templates names however, since this
-executed during runtime of the template.
-
-You can now supply an expire time when clearing cache or compile files. This is
-mostly useful for removing stale files via the API.
-
-Plugins now stop execution upon error, instead of outputting a warning and
-continuing.
-
-Two new API functions, assign_by_ref() and append_by_ref() were added. They
-allow assigning template variables by reference. This can make a significant
-performance gain, especially if you are assigning large arrays of data. PHP 5.0
-will do this implicitly, so these functions are basically workarounds.
-
-Several misc bug fixes, see the Change Log for information.
-
-
-2.2.0
------
-
-Smarty now allows an array of paths for the $plugin_dir class variable. The
-directories will be searched in the order they are given, so for efficiency keep
-the most-used plugins at the top. Also, absolute paths to the plugin directories are
-more efficient than relying on the PHP include_path.
-
-Cache files can now be grouped with the cache_id. See the documentation under
-the new "Caching" section for details. compile_id also respects the same
-grouping syntax. The cache/compile file structure changed, so be sure to clear
-out all your cache and compile files when upgrading Smarty. Also if you are
-using PHP-accelerator, restart apache. I've seen some quirky things happen if
-the phpa files do not get cleared (known issue with phpa and parent
-class-member changes, so just clear 'em.)
-
-Smarty now correctly respects the PHP include_path for $template_dir, $compile_dir,
-$cache_dir, $config_dir and $plugin_dir. Be aware that relying on the
-include_path is an overhead, try to use absolute pathnames when possible
-(or relative to working directory.)
-
-Documentation has been updated and rearranged a bit. Most notably, the
-installation instructions are completely revamped, and a new Caching section
-explains Smarty's caching in detail along with the new grouping functionality.
-
-Many misc. bug fixes and enhancements, see the full ChangeLog (NEWS file) for
-details.
-
-2.1.1
------
-
-There was a bug with template paths and the include_path, this has been fixed.
-Also register_outputfilter() did not work, this is fixed. A new template
-function named "cycle" has been added to the distribution, nice for cycling
-through a list (or array) of values.
-
-2.1.0
------
-
-This release has quite a few new features and fixes. Most notable are the
-introduction of block functions, so you can write plugins that work on a block
-of text with {func}{/func} notation. Also output filters were added, so you can
-apply a function against the output of your templates. This differs from the
-postfilter function, which works on the compiled template at compile time, and
-output filters work on the template output at runtime.
-
-Many other features and bug fixes are noted in the NEWS file.
-
-
-2.0.1
------
-
-This is a point release, fixing a few bugs and cleaning things up. A plugin
-was renamed, the dash "-" was removed from compiled template and cached file
-names. If you're upgrading, you might want to clear them out first. See the
-ChangeLog for details.
-
-2.0.0
------
-
-This release is a huge milestone for Smarty. Most notable new things are a
-plugin architecture, removal of PEAR dependency, and optimizations that
-drastically improve the performance of Smarty in most cases.
-
-The plugin architecture allows modifiers, custom functions, compiler functions,
-prefilters, postfilters, resources, and insert functions to be added by
-simply dropping a file into the plugins directory. Once dropped in, they are
-automatically registered by the template engine. This makes user-contributed
-plugins easy to manage, as well as the internal workings of Smarty easy to
-control and customize. This new architecture depends on the __FILE__ constant,
-which contains the full path to the executing script. Some older versions of
-PHP incorrectly gave the script name and not the full filesystem path. Be sure
-your version of PHP populates __FILE__ correctly. If you use custom template
-resource functions, the format of these changed with the plugin architecture.
-Be sure to update your functions accordingly. See the template resource section
-of the documentation.
-
-The PEAR dependancy was removed from Smarty. The Config_File class that comes
-with Smarty was actually what needed PEAR for error handling which Smarty didn't
-use, but now everything is self-contained.
-
-Performance improvements are graphed on the benchmark page, you will see that
-overall performance has been sped up by as much as 80% in some cases.
-
-Smarty-cached pages now support If-Modified-Since headers, meaning that if a
-cached template page has not changed since the last request, a "304 Not
-Modified" header will be sent instead of resending the same page. This is
-disabled by default, change the setting of $cache_modified_check.
-
-
-1.5.2
------
-
-Mostly bug fixes, added a default template resource handler.
-
-
-1.5.1
------
-
-Critical bug fix release. If you use caching, you'll need to upgrade.
-
-
-1.5.0
------
-
-Several feature enhancements were made to this version, most notably the
-{foreach ...} command which is an alternative to {section ...} with an easier
-syntax for looping through a single array of values. Several functions were
-enhanced so that the output can be automatically assigned to a template
-variable instead of displayed (assign attribute). Cache files can now be
-controlled with a custom function as an alternative to the built-in file based
-method. Many code cleanups and bug fixed went into this release as well.
-
-
-1.4.6
------
-
-The behavior with caching and compile_check has been slightly enhanced. If
-caching is enabled AND compile_check is enabled, the cache will immediately get
-regenerated if _any_ involved template or config file is updated. This imposes
-a slight performance hit because it must check all the files for changes, so be
-sure to run live sites with caching enabled and compile_check disabled for best
-performance. If you update a template or config file, simply turn on
-compile_check, load the page, then turn it back off. This will update the cache
-file with the new content. This is accomplished by maintaining a list of
-included/loaded templates and config files at the beginning of the cache file.
-Therefore it is advisable to remove all cache files after upgrading to 1.4.6
-(although not absolutely necessary, old cache files will regenerate)
-
-The debug console now has script timing and array values printed. You MUST
-update your debug.tpl file with this version of Smarty. Also, the new debug.tpl
-will not work with older versions of Smarty.
-
-
-1.4.5
------
-
-Mostly bug fixes and minor improvements. Added compile id for separate compiled
-versions of the same script. The directory format and filename convention for
-the files in templates_c has changed, so you may want to remove all of the
-existing ones before you upgrade.
-
-
-1.4.4
------
-
-A few bug fixes, new section looping attributes and properties, debugging
-console function for control via URL, and overLib integration and access
-to request variables from within the template.
-
-
-1.4.3
------
-
-This release has a few bug fixes and several enhancements. Smarty now supports
-template security for third-party template editing. These features disallow the
-ability for someone to execute commands or PHP code from the template language.
-Smarty also now has a built-in debugging console, which is a javascript pop-up
-window that displays all the included template names and assigned variables.
-
-
-1.4.2
------
-
-This was mostly one bug fix with variable scoping within included templates
-and a few documentation changes and updates. See the ChangeLog file for full
-details.
-
-
-1.4.1
------
-
-It seems that the EX_LOCK logic from the previous release didn't fix all the
-problems with windows platforms. Hopefully this one does. It basically
-disables file locking on windows, so there is a potential that two programs
-could write over the same file at the same time, fyi.
-
-The reset is minor bug fixes, please refer to the ChangeLog file.
-
-
-1.4.0
------
-
-IMPORTANT NOTICE
-
-Smarty now has a new syntax for accessing elements within section loops. The
-new syntax is easier to use and nicely handles data structures of any
-complexity. Consequently, this breaks the old syntax.
-
-Here is an example of the syntax change:
-
-old syntax:
-{$sec1/sec2/sec3/customer.phone}
-
-new syntax:
-{$customer[$sec1][$sec2][$sec3].phone}
-
-The section names used to come first, followed by the variable name. Now the
-variable name always comes first, followed by the section names in brackets.
-You can access variable indexes anywhere, depending on how you passed the
-variables in.
-
-To fix your current templates, we have provided a script that will adjust the
-syntax for you. Located in misc/fix_vars.php, run this script from the the
-command line, giving each template as an argument. Be sure to use absolute
-pathnames, or pathnames relative to the executing script. Probably the easiest
-way to do this is to copy the fix_vars.php script into your template directory
-and run 'php -q fix_vars.php *.tpl' Be sure you have proper write permission,
-and backup your scripts first to be safe! The examples in the 1.4.0
-documentation have been updated to reflect the changes.
-
-cd /path/to/templates
-cp /path/to/fix_vars.php .
-find . -name "*.tpl" -exec php -q ./fix_vars.php {} \;
-
-NEW AND IMPROVED COMPILATION PROCESS
-
-Smarty 1.4.0 also has a new compilation process. Instead of compiling all the
-templates up front, it now compiles them at runtime. This has several
-advantages. First of all, there is no longer a need to have a single template
-directory. You can now have arbitrary template sources, such as multiple
-directories or even database calls. This also speeds the performance of Smarty
-when $compile_check is enabled, since it is only checking the template that is
-being executed instead of everything found in the template directory. The
-$tpl_file_ext is no longer needed, but kept for backward compatability.
-Templates can now be named anything you like with any extension.
-
-MINOR FIXES
-
-A workaround for LOCK_EX on Windows systems was added, and changed a couple of
-file permissions for better security on public servers.
-
-$show_info_header is now defaulted to false instead of true. This header causes
-problems when displaying content other than HTML, so now you must explicitly
-set this flag to true to show the header information (or change the default in
-your copy of Smarty.)
-
-Documentation is written in docbook format. I updated the docbook -> HTML
-generating software & style-sheets, and consequently the examples are no longer
-in a different background color. If anyone wants to contribute a better
-stylesheet or help with documentation, drop me a line. <monte@ispi.net>
-
-CHANGES/ENHANCEMENTS/UPDATES
-
-date_format, html_select_date and html_select_time used to require a unix
-timestamp as the format of the date passed into the template. Smarty is now a
-bit smarter at this. It will take a unix timestamp, a mysql timestamp, or any
-date string that is parsable by strtotime, such as 10/01/2001 or 2001-10-01,
-etc. Just give some formats a try and see what works.
-
-Smarty now has template prefilters, meaning that you can run your templates
-through custom functions before they are compiled. This is good for things like
-removing unwanted comments, keeping an eye on words or functionality people are
-putting in templates, translating XML -> HTML, etc. See the register_prefilter
-documentation for more info.
-
-Another addition are the so-called compiler functions. These are custom
-functions registered by the user that are executed at compilation time of the
-template. They can be used to inject PHP code or time-sensitive static content
-into the compiled template.
-
-The run-time custom functions are now passed the Smarty object as the second
-parameter. This can be used, for example, to assign or clear template variables
-from inside the custom function.
-
-clear_compile_dir() was added for clearing out compiled versions of your
-templates. Not something normally needed, but you may have a need for this if
-you have $compile_check set to false and you periodically update templates via
-some automated process. As of 1.4.0, uncompiled templates _always_ get
-compiled regardless of $compile_check setting, although they won't be checked
-for recompile if $compile_check is set to false.
-
-You can now refer to properties of objects assigned from PHP by using the '->'
-symbol and specifying the property name after it, e.g. $foo->bar.
-
-{php}{/php} tags were added to embed php into the templates. Not normally
-needed, but some circumstances may call for it. Check out the "componentized
-templates" tip in the documentation for an example.
-
-{capture}{/capture} and {counter} functions were added. See the documentation
-for a complete description and examples.
-
-UPGRADE NOTES
-
-The format of the files created in the $compile_dir are now a bit different.
-The compiled template filename is the template resource name url-encoded.
-Therefore, all compiled files are now in the top directory of $compile_dir.
-This was done to make way for arbitrary template resources. Each compiled
-template also has a header that states what template resource was used to
-create it. From a unix command prompt, you can use "head -2 *" to see the first
-two lines of each file.
-
-When upgrading to 1.4.0, you will want to clear out all your old files in the
-$compile_dir. If you have $compile_check set to false and the compiled template
-does not yet exist, it will compile it regardless of this setting. This way you
-can clear out the $compile_dir and not worry about setting $compile_check to
-true to get the inital compilation under way.
-
-
-1.3.2
------
-
-Smarty now has (an optional) header prepended to the output of the Smarty
-templates. This displays the Smarty version and the date/time when the page was
-generated. This is useful for debugging your cache routines, and purely
-informational so there is evidence that the page was generated by Smarty. Set
-$show_info_header to false to disable it.
-
-{config_load ...} performance was tuned by placing the loaded variables into a
-global array, so basically a config file is read from the file system and
-placed into a php array structure only once, no matter how many times it is
-called in any of the templates. The scope of the loaded variables has changed a
-bit as well. Variables loaded by config_load used to be treated as global
-variables, meaning that parent templates (templates that included the current
-template) could see them. Now the default behavior is such that loaded
-variables are only visible by the current template and child templates (all
-templates included after the {config_load ...} is called.) To mimic the
-original behavior, provide the attribute "global=yes" like so: {config_load
-file="mystuff.conf" global=yes}. Now when you load in mystuff.conf, the
-variables will be visible to parent templates (merged with any existing config
-variables.)
-
-A formatting attribute was added to the {math ...} function, adding the ability
-to control the format of the output. Use the same formatting syntax as the PHP
-function sprintf().
-
-{html_select_time ...} was added, a custom function that works much like
-{html_select_date ...} except it displays time elements instead of dates.
-
-A few custom modifiers were added: count_characters, count_words,
-count_sentences, count_paragraphs. All pretty self-explanatory.
