Announcing the final release of bTemplate: bTemplate 0.3. The only addition is the addition of the <else> tag. Usage of else has been added to the documentation (and the stylesheet that had all the code samples centered has been fixed as well). Why is this the last release? Because as far as I know, there aren't any bugs, and I no longer use bTemplate for any new projects (as I have come up with a better solution: read the article. I will still be visiting the message board regularly and helping with any issues you may have.

Tim Bates has contributed some changes that allow bTemplate to parse multiple "ifs" with only one set() call. Until I have the chance to consider adding similar functionality to loops & cloops, you can see the code in this message board thread. Thanks for the contribution, Tim.

Just a small design update. The page now uses CSS positioning exclusively (no tables, and no spacer images). Seems to work fine in Opera, Mozilla, and IE.
