Things I’d like to add in the foreseeable future:

  • More decent docs
  • An interface with beforeCompile and afterCompile callbacks on both plugins and external objects. Basically identical to Smarty’s pre- and postfilters, just more PHP5-ish.
  • A register_function method for adding a single function to a plugin taglib that is outside a plugin directory
  • More core functions, and a default taglib with handy helper functions.
  • Multiple template file directories
  • Wrappers for popular PHP web application frameworks and their view-level support (helpers) to allow drop-in support for these frameworks
  • Probably loads of bugfixes
  • Output caching features (if it can provide significant advantages over vanilla memcache and friends)
  • Maybe: resource API (for storing files other places than the filesystem)
  • Steal good ideas from other template engines (but not the bad ones)
  • Promo
