The first release candidate of the Jinja2 templating engine was released today. It's the successor of Jinja1 and breaks backwards compatibility on the API level for good. To not break existing applications Jinja2 has a separate package called "jinja2".
Changes to Jinja1: * dynamic inheritance * simplified API * easier debugging * better handling of undefined values * improved macro system * a lot faster * optional and more secure sandbox * improved for-loops which allow filtering now * Django-inspired extension system * optional line-based statements similar to Cheetah or Mako * optional automatic escaping Links: * Change Summary: http://lucumr.pocoo.org/cogitations/2008/06/09/jinja2-rc1/ * Documentation: http://jinja.pocoo.org/2/documentation/ * Website: http://jinja.pocoo.org/2/ * Cheeseshop: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/Jinja2/2.0rc1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
