Hi,

I'm going to release Grantlee[1] on Monday and I've written a short release 
announcement for the dot about it and an email to send to the qt-interest 
and django development mailing lists. I'd like the dot story to appear on 
the same day, so I thought I'd give a heads-up because I know there's a 
queue for dot articles. Is there anything else in the way of publishing it 
on Monday?

All the best,

Steve.

****

The Grantlee community is pleased to announce the availability of Grantlee 
version 0.1.0[1].

Grantlee is a Free Software string template library written in Qt and based 
on the syntax and design of the Django template system[2]. As it is based on 
Django, 
there is already a community of designers familiar with the syntax, and a 
community of developers implementing logical fixes and writing new 
extensions.

Qt APIs and existing strengths are central to the design of Grantlee.
* QVariant is used for type independance
* QObject and QMetaObject are used for type and property introspection
* Template files and external media can be loaded through the QtResource 
system.
* Template syntax can be extended using the QtPlugin class
* Plugins can be implemented in QtScript or in C++.
* The Granltee core library requires only QtCore
* The Grantlee gui library provides tools for using QTextDocument with the 
template system.
* Grantlee documentation[3] is compatible with QtAssistant

More information can be found in the KDE dot article[4].

The API of Grantlee will be stable for 0.1.x releases, but will likely 
change in minor ways for the 0.2.0 release. 

Grantlee uses an open git repository for development. Patches can be 
submitted through gitorious[5].

Feedback regarding Grantlee APIs is welcome and should be sent to kde-
pim@kde.org.

**************

The Grantlee community is pleased to announce the availability of <a 
href="http://downloads.grantlee.org">Grantlee version 0.1.0</a>.

Grantlee is a Free Software string template library written in Qt and based 
on the syntax and design of the <a 
href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/">Django 
template system</a>. As a template system it provides the possibility of <a 
href="http://steveire.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/email-rendering-with-
grantlee">user extensible theming</a> to Qt and KDE based applications, and 
provides tools for other template based document creation such as <a 
href="http://steveire.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/using-grantlee-for-code-
generation">code generation</a> and mail-merge.

This release of Grantlee will initially be used by <a 
href="http://dot.kde.org/2010/02/17/kjots-takes-advantage-innovations-kde-
development-platform">KJots</a> in the 4.5 release, and by the <a 
href="http://mupuf.org/project/arduide/">Qt based Arduino IDE</a> for 
theming and code generation. It will soon be making more appearances in KDE 
PIM for theming support. A Google Summer of Code project is already proposed 
to bring Grantlee and GetHotNewStuff support to KMail for user defined 
themes.
