    Dear Campsite users,

    Campsite 3.0.0, a major upgrade has been officially released. This version
    contains major improvements in the template language and much improved
    portability and install process. Download
    now
    !

    Campsite 3.0.0 runs on any operating system that runs PHP, Apache and MySQL,
    including Linux, Windows, Macs and BSD variants. And if it doesn't, we need bug
    reports !

    The Campsite 3.0.0 package contains default sample templates together with
    the corresponding database which you can install by following the steps in
    the INSTALL file. (Newbie Windows users: Try opening the INSTALL file with
    Notepad or Wordpad).

    Unlike the 2.2-2.7 versions, Campsite 3.0 does not support multiple
    instances anymore. This means that for each instance you want to run you
    have to install Campsite in a new virtual host.

    The install process is much simpler and the dependencies are much fewer: we
    removed the C++ code so every dependency related to it vanished. No more
    compiling Smile

    We're looking forward to getting user feedback, so please get involved in
    the Campsite community. Check the Campsite support
    forumor join our mailing
    list for more info.

    *Changelog for Campsite 3.0.0*

    For full details about these changes, see:
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campsite/query?milestone=3.0.0

    Major Improvements:
    - The template engine was rewritten in PHP for better performance,
    more flexibility, easier development, plugin architecture, fewer
    dependecies and easy install.
    - The install procedure is much easier thanks to a web based
    installer.
    - A caching mechanism for database objects was implemented. This
    will result in fewer database queries and greater speed and
    scalability.

    Small improvements:
    - Variables for storing temporary data can be used in the template
    language.
    - Boolean expressions can be used in "if" statements.
    - Many new small features in the template language.
    - The web based installer provides a default demo package for
    easier learning of the template language.
    - Removed the constraint of having at most one limitted list of a
    certain type in a template.
