HISTORY

9       The Template Toolkit began its life as the "Text::MetaText" module,
10       originally released to CPAN around 1996.  This itself was the public
11       manifestation of an earlier template processing system I developed
12       while working at Peritas (now Knowledge Pool -
13       http://www.knowledgepool.com/)
14
15       "Text::MetaText" was the prototype - the one we always planned to throw
16       away.  It did the job well, showing us what worked and what didn't,
17       what was good and what was bad, and gave us some ideas about what could
18       be done better, given the chance to start again from scratch.
19
20       Some time late in 1998 I threw away the prototype and started work on
21       the Template Toolkit. By then I was working at Canon Research Centre
22       Europe Ltd.  (CRE), involved in a general research programme related to
23       web publishing and dynamic content generation. The first alpha release
24       was in June 1999, followed by numerous more alpha and beta releases
25       culminating in 1.00 being released on 2nd December 1999.
26
27       A month or so later, work had begun on version 2.00. The plan was to
28       get the template language relatively stable in version 1.00 and not
29       worry too much about performance or other internal matters. Then,
30       version 2.00 would follow to improve performance, clean up the
31       architecture and fix anything that, with the benefit of hindsight, we
32       thought could be improved. As it happens, me starting work on version
33       2.00 coincided with Doug Steinwand sending me his parser variant which
34       compiled templates to Perl code, giving a major performance boost. As
35       well as the speedups, there are a whole host of significant new
36       features in version 2.00, and a greatly improved internal architecture.
37       Apart from a few minor "fixups" the template directives and language
38       have remained the same as in version 1.00
39
40       Version 2.00 was available in beta release form in July 2000, just in
41       time for the 4th Perl Conference where version 1.00 was awarded "Best
42       New Perl Module".  After another extended beta release period, version
43       2.00 was released on 1st December 2000.
44
45       Version 3 has been in development ever since.
