Jinja 2.2 Released
I'm happy to announce the 2.2 Release (Codename Kong) of Jinja 2, the high performance, sandboxed template engine for Python. What's new in this release?
{% include %}tags now have an “ignore missing” marker that tells Jinja to skip missing files silently.- Priority of
notraised. You can now writefoo not in barand do what it does in Python. - Fixed many problems with
{% call %}and{% macro %}tags in loops. - Included templates can now access all variables from outer scopes properly.
- Added “scoped” modifier for blocks that cause them to be affected by scoping rules.
- Added support for line-based comments.
- Added the
metamodule that gives access to some Jinja internals in a supported way.
Grab it while it's hot from the Python Package Index
Thanks for the share Armin. The meta module was a good move

Looking forward to messing around with Jinja 2.2 when I get a little more free time!

there seems to be an issue in assignment
This doesn't work as i would expect:
{% set count=1 %}
{% for group in user_groups %}
{% for u in group %}
{% set count=count+1 %} <!--always starts with 1! > {% endfor %} <p>now have {{count}} users</p><!--always =1! no matter how many times count was updated in the inner loop -->{% endfor %}

That is not a bug, that is documented behavior. A loop opens a new scope and you cannot assign into higher scopes. Why would you want to do that?
