+This file contains a brief description of new features which have been added to Smarty 3.1
+
+Smarty 3.1.31
+ New tags for inheritance parent and child
+ =========================================
+ {block_parent} == {$smarty.block.parent}
+ {block_child} == {$smarty.block.child}
+
+Smarty 3.1.30
+
+ Loop optimization {foreach} and {section}
+ =========================================
+ Smarty does optimize the {foreach} and {section} loops by removing code for not needed loop
+ properties.
+ The compiler collects needed properties by scanning the current template for $item@property,
+ $smarty.foreach.name.property and $smarty.section.name.property.
+ The compiler does not know if additional properties will be needed outside the current template scope.
+ Additional properties can be generated by adding them with the property attribute.
+
+ Example:
+ index.tpl
+ {foreach $from as $item properties=[iteration, index]}
+ {include 'sub.tpl'}
+ {$item.total}
+ {/foreach}
+
+ sub.tpl
+ {$item.index} {$item.iteration} {$item.total}
+
+ In above example code for the 'total' property is automatically generated as $item.total is used in
+ index.tpl. Code for 'iteration' and 'index' must be added with properties=[iteration, index].
+
+ New tag {make_nocache}
+ ======================
+ Syntax: {make_nocache $foo}
+
+ This tag makes a variable which does exists normally only while rendering the compiled template
+ available in the cached template for use in not cached expressions.
+
+ Expample:
+ {foreach from=$list item=item}
+ <li>{$item.name} {make_nocache $item}{if $current==$item.id} ACTIVE{/if}</li>
+ {/foreach}
+
+ The {foreach} loop is rendered while processing the compiled template, but $current is a nocache
+ variable. Normally the {if $current==$item.id} would fail as the $item variable is unkown in the
+ cached template. {make_nocache $item} does make the current $item value known in thee cached template.
+
+ {make_nocache} is ignored when caching is disabled or the variable does exists as nocache variable.
+
+ NOTE: if the variable value does contain objects these must have the __set_state method implemented.
+
+
+ Scope Attributes
+ ================
+ The scope handling has been updated to cover all cases of variable assignments in templates.
+
+ The tags {assign}, {append} direct assignments like {$foo = ...}, {$foo[...]= ...} support
+ the following optional scope attributes:
+ scope='parent' - the variable will be assigned in the current template and if the template
+ was included by {include} the calling template
+ scope='tpl_root' - the variable will be assigned in the outermost root template called by $smarty->display()
+ or $smarty->fetch() and is bubbled up all {include} sub-templates to the current template.
+ scope='smarty' - the variable will be assigned in the Smarty object and is bubbled up all {include} sub-templates
+ to the current template.
+ scope='global' - the variable will be assigned as Smarty object global variable and is bubbled up all {include}
+ sub-templates to the current template.
+ scope='root' - the variable will be assigned if a data object was used for variable definitions in the data
+ object or in the Smarty object otherwise and is bubbled up all {include} sub-templates to the
+ current template.
+ scope='local' - this scope has only a meaning if the tag is called within a template {function}.
+ The variable will be assigned in the local scope of the template function and the
+ template which did call the template function.
+
+
+ The {config_load} tag supports all of the above except the global scope.
+
+ The scope attribute can be used also with the {include} tag.
+ Supported scope are parent, tpl_root, smarty, global and root.
+ A scope used together with the {include} tag will cause that with some exceptions any variable
+ assignment within that sub-template will update/assign the variable in other scopes according
+ to the above rules. It does include also variables assigned by plugins, tags supporting the assign=foo
+ attribute and direct assignments in {if} and {while} like {if $foo=$bar}.
+ Excluded are the key and value variables of {foreach}, {for} loop variables , variables passed by attributes
+ in {include} and direct increments/decrements like {$foo++}, {$foo--}
+
+ Note: The scopes should be used only to the extend really need. If a variable value assigned in an included
+ sub-template should be returned to the calling sub-template just use {$foo='bar' scope='parent'}.
+ Use scopes only with variables for which it's realy needed. Avoid general scope settings with the
+ {include} tag as it can have a performance impact.
+
+ The {assign}, {append}, {config_load} and {$foo...=...} tags have a new option flag 'noscope'.Thi
+ Example: {$foo='bar' noscope} This will assign $foo only in the current template and any scope settings
+ at {include} is ignored.
+
+
+ Caching
+ =======
+ Caching does now observe the template_dir setting and will create separate cache files if required
+
+ Compiled Templates
+ ==================
+ The template_dir setting is now encoded in the uid of the file name.
+ The content of the compiled template may depend on the template_dir search order
+ {include .... inline} is used or $smarty->merge_compiled_includes is enabled
+
+ APC
+ ===
+ If APC is enabled force an apc_compile_file() when compiled or cached template was updated
+
+Smarty 3.1.28
+
+ OPCACHE
+ =======
+ Smarty does now invalidate automatically updated and cleared compiled or cached template files in OPCACHE.
+ Correct operation is no longer dependent on OPCACHE configuration settings.
+
+ Template inheritance
+ ====================
+ Template inheritance is now processed in run time.
+ See the INHERITANCE_RELEASE_NOTES
+
+ Modifier regex_replace
+ ======================
+ An optional limit parameter was added
+
+ fetch() and display()
+ =====================
+ The fetch() and display() methods of the template object accept now optionally the same parameter
+ as the corresponding Smarty methods to get the content of another template.
+ Example:
+ $template->display(); Does display template of template object
+ $template->display('foo.tpl'); Does display template 'foo.bar'
+
+ File: resource
+ ==============
+ Multiple template_dir entries can now be selected by a comma separated list of indices.
+ The template_dir array is searched in the order of the indices. (Could be used to change the default search order)
+ Example:
+ $smarty->display('[1],[0]foo.bar');
+
+ Filter support
+ ==============
+ Optional filter names
+ An optional filter name was added to $smarty->registerFilter(). It can be used to unregister a filter by name.
+ - $smarty->registerFilter('output', $callback, 'name');
+ $smarty->unregister('output', 'name');
+
+ Closures
+ $smarty->registerFilter() does now accept closures.
+ - $smarty->registerFilter('pre', function($source) {return $source;});
+ If no optional filter name was specified it gets the default name 'closure'.
+ If you register multiple closures register each with a unique filter name.
+ - $smarty->registerFilter('pre', function($source) {return $source;}, 'closure_1');
+ - $smarty->registerFilter('pre', function($source) {return $source;}, 'closure_2');
+
+
+Smarty 3.1.22
+
+ Namespace support within templates
+ ==================================
+ Within templates you can now use namespace specifications on:
+ - Constants like foo\bar\FOO
+ - Class names like foo\bar\Baz::FOO, foo\bar\Baz::$foo, foo\bar\Baz::foo()
+ - PHP function names like foo\bar\baz()
+
+ Security
+ ========
+ - disable special $smarty variable -
+ The Smarty_Security class has the new property $disabled_special_smarty_vars.
+ It's an array which can be loaded with the $smarty special variable names like
+ 'template_object', 'template', 'current_dir' and others which will be disabled.
+ Note: That this security check is performed at compile time.
+
+ - limit template nesting -
+ Property $max_template_nesting of Smarty_Security does set the maximum template nesting level.
+ The main template is level 1. The nesting level is checked at run time. When the maximum will be exceeded
+ an Exception will be thrown. The default setting is 0 which does disable this check.
+
+ - trusted static methods -
+ The Smarty_Security class has the new property $trusted_static_methods to restrict access to static methods.
+ It's an nested array of trusted class and method names.
+ Format:
+ array (
+ 'class_1' => array('method_1', 'method_2'), // allowed methods
+ 'class_2' => array(), // all methods of class allowed
+ )
+ To disable access for all methods of all classes set $trusted_static_methods = null;
+ The default value is an empty array() which does enables all methods of all classes, but for backward compatibility
+ the setting of $static_classes will be checked.
+ Note: That this security check is performed at compile time.
+
+ - trusted static properties -
+ The Smarty_Security class has the new property $trusted_static_properties to restrict access to static properties.
+ It's an nested array of trusted class and property names.
+ Format:
+ array (
+ 'class_1' => array('prop_1', 'prop_2'), // allowed properties listed
+ 'class_2' => array(), // all properties of class allowed
+ }
+ To disable access for all properties of all classes set $trusted_static_properties = null;
+ The default value is an empty array() which does enables all properties of all classes, but for backward compatibility
+ the setting of $static_classes will be checked.
+ Note: That this security check is performed at compile time.
+
+ - trusted constants .
+ The Smarty_Security class has the new property $trusted_constants to restrict access to constants.
+ It's an array of trusted constant names.
+ Format:
+ array (
+ 'SMARTY_DIR' , // allowed constant
+ }
+ If the array is empty (default) the usage of constants can be controlled with the
+ Smarty_Security::$allow_constants property (default true)
+
+
+
+ Compiled Templates
+ ==================
+ Smarty does now automatically detects a change of the $merge_compiled_includes and $escape_html
+ property and creates different compiled templates files depending on the setting.
+
+ Same applies to config files and the $config_overwrite, $config_booleanize and
+ $config_read_hidden properties.
+
+ Debugging
+ =========
+ The layout of the debug window has been changed for better readability
+
+ New class constants
+ Smarty::DEBUG_OFF
+ Smarty::DEBUG_ON
+ Smarty::DEBUG_INDIVIDUAL
+ have been introduced for setting the $debugging property.
+
+ Smarty::DEBUG_INDIVIDUAL will create for each display() and fetch() call an individual debug window.
+
