Announcing Templayer 1.3 ------------------------ Templayer home page: http://excess.org/templayer/ Tarball: http://excess.org/templayer/templayer-1.3.tar.gz About this release: =================== This release includes new documentation and a new auto-reload feature useful for mod_python and web frameworks. Also, the internal template representation was changed to improve performance and consistency, and the HTML generated with HTML Markup is now more standards-compliant. New in this release: ==================== - Added reference documentation and a new tutorial. - Added an auto_reload parameter to Template.__init__ to make the Template.start_file function check and reload a template if it has been modified. This is useful for mod_python and web frameworks with long-lived processes. - Changed the internal representation of the templates to improve performance for large templates and to solve an issue with slots being filled with text that appears to contain another slot that is being filled at the same time. The new implementation no longer allows "%" and "{" characers in slot and layer names. - The Template.missing_slot function is now passed a list of missing slots for a layer. This should improve performance when ignoring a large number of missing slots. - The HTML markup has been adjusted to make its use of <br> and <p> tags more standards-compliant. - HtmlTemplate has been renamed to HTMLTemplate and MarkupException has been renamed to MarkupError. The old names are still provided for backwards compatibility. About Templayer =============== Templayer was created to offer an alternative to the more common ways of generating dynamic HTML: embedding code within the HTML or embedding HTML within code. Instead of mixing HTML and Python, two rich and extremely expressive languages, Templayer adds a small amount of syntax to each and keeps the two separate and coherent. Templayer is released under the GNU LGPL.
