UPDATE: July 20, 1999: First PHP4 wierdness found. PHP4 does not like the {$ combinations within FT's parse() routine. Here's the diff:

UPDATE: June 28 1999: Two things. First:I built PHP 3.0.11
this morning and they've apparently fixed the str_replace() bug in PHP. If
you run PHP 3.0.11 you can safely edit the FT source and change it to use
str_replace() (Just do a search for it in the code - there's only one line,
just uncomment the str_replace() line and comment the ereg_replace() line)
Don't do this on pre 3.0.11 builds of PHP as it'll core dump Apache when you
try it). See the CHANGELOG for more details.
Second: FastTemplate 0.8 is available if you really want it.
Apologies to the Freshmeat link-followers that are getting the 404
error. I didn't make the announcement on Freshmeat, and FT 0.8 does have a
few bugs so it's better if you use 1.1.0 anyway. Pop me a note if you want an older version of
any of the classes here.
