Hi

I have been a long time user of LLBL gen and use it for all my numerous projects.

I originally developed some Manager Templates for the LLBL Framework I used extensively under version 2.x. I then upgraded to V3.1 and had to spend a considerable amount of time updating my templates to work again. All is good and they now work perfectly and I have continued to use them

My question is if I go to V4.0, will I have to go through all the pain again or is the template language essentially the same as under v3.1... I am happy for a bit of pain but the move from V2.x to V3.x was a large undertaking as I believe the template language was totally redesigned.

Many thanks in advance

The migration to v4 should be pretty seamless. Most changes you have to make in your templates are optional: i.e. in general it's not recommended anymore to directly manipulate field objects in entities in v4, as field objects are not created when an entity is fetched/created so manipulating them creates field objects which are unnecessary. But other than that, it should be less work than when you moved to v3: the template system is the same.
