• v4.0.0 Changes

  February 06, 2018

  • Rendering is handled via RenderTemplate interfaces
  • Extensions are first class citizens
  • The Engine is now a small wrapper for an IoC Container

  🆕 New Features

  • RenderContext API for defining composable functions and more
  • Components
  • Powerful and customizable naming strategies for dynamic base paths
  • Multi folder fallbacks
  • Relative and Absolute Path templates
  • 👍 Better Error Handling
  • 0️⃣ Default Layouts
  • Deep Sections #169
  • Template Composers
  • Static File Rendering
  • Image/Base64Encoding Rendering
  • And probably a few more ;p

  📚 Documentation is lacking for many of these features. Contributions are welcome! The best way to learn about the features it to look at the tests and examples.
