Subject: ANNOUNCE: PageTemplate 0.3.1

Hi All,

I finally had enough time away from job stuff to add things to 
PageTemplate (seems I'm always griping about too much or not enough 
work).  The visible changes are small, but the supporting framework has 
undergone some major changes to simplify testing and keep my poor 
little brain from melting when I look at the code.

I think now it's time to put together a nice assortment of sample apps 
and see how well this thing performs in the real world.

Here's the download page:
	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53220

... and here's the documentation page:
	http://www.coolnamehere.com/geekery/ruby/pagetemplate/

Okay, folks. Have fun with it!

CHANGES FROM 0.2.0
------------
- It works under ruby 1.6 now!
- Experimental support for caching template information to disk.

PageTemplate.rb
============

Use PageTemplate.rb to create output based on template pages and the 
code of your program.  This package is inspired by Sam Tregar's  
HTML::Template package for Perl.  Its main intent is to separate design 
and code for CGI programs, but it could be useful in other contexts as 
well (Ex: site generation packages).

PageTemplate.rb is distributed under the MIT License.

As a side note: if you are using PageTemplate in your projects, or add 
features to your copy, I'd love to hear about it.
