Many of you were asking about editor support for changed delimiters policy which happened in Smarty 3.0. I'm glad that I can announce that NetBeans 7.1 will contain initial Smarty3 support which impacts especially delimiters policy and also adds most of Smarty3 tags into the code completion. See the following example for Smarty3 code from our latest Development version:
If you would like to come back to the Smarty2 behaviour, you can do so in Tools -> Options -> PHP -> Smarty tab.
That's all for today, as always, please test it and report all the issues or enhancements you find in Netbeans Bugzilla -> PHP -> Smarty category. Thanks.
I'm not a Smarty user but I suppose the version used (2 or 3) depends on the project. Will it be a global setting?
You are right that would be better to be able to specify that per project and it could be done by time (probably for next release). However Smarty3 editor support just extends the behaviour so you should have still proper syntax highlighting for Smarty2 code if you are using Smarty3 option.
You have a tyop in your screenshot...
Thanks for letting me know. Should be fixed once the blog's cache will be refreshed.
