    "html": "<p><a href=\"http://phpsavant.com\">Savant</a> sees a new release today, version 2.3.2.  It's a bugfix release; the change notes are:</p>\n<p>* can now use assign() to assign a null value by name (thanks, Michael Caplan)</p>\n<p>* the dateformat plugin now correctly refers to named custom formats (thanks, maxim at inform-link dot co dot uk)</p>\n<p>* added tests for named custom dateformat strings</p>\n<p>In related news, it seems that Monte Ohrt (or someone using his name) of Smarty fame wanted to take issue with some of my comments about caching over at <a href=\"http://revjim.net/comments/10170/\">the house of Reverend Jim</a>.  Give Jim some traffic and see for yourself which point of view you agree with; when you're done, be sure to check out his photography work.</p>\n<p>Finally, the Savant site has seen quadruple its normal traffic in the past 24 hours.  Normally it gets about 1000 hits/day, but right now it's at 4000.  Could it be that my new article for <a href=\"http://php-mag.net\">PHP Magazine</a> on Savant has been released?</p>\n<p>Savant is a template system for PHP that uses PHP itself as the template markup language. Savant has plugins, output filters, customized error handling, and allows you to hook in a compiler object to deal with customized non-PHP template markup. I call it the simple, elegant, and powerful alternative to Smarty.</p>\n<p><b>Update:</b> Looks like <a href=\"http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&amp;issue=103&amp;format=html\">SitePoint Tech Times</a> has a link to Savant, which explains the traffic increase.  Thanks to Sean from #pear on IRC for the information, and thanks to the SitePoint folks for mentioning the project.</p>\n<p><b>Update 2:</b> At midnight: 6763 hits in 24 hours.  Sweet.  :-)</p>\n"
