After 11 months of development, I'm happy to announce the availability of version 0.9 of Askama, the type-safe, compiled Jinja-like template engine for Rust. This has been a long release cycle; mostly I've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out problems with how to manage Askama's built-in integrations. In the end, 0.9.0 shipped with the integrations problems unsolved, but they were solved shortly thereafter.

Upgrade notes:

• Move no-receiver size_hint() method to a separate trait (#270, thanks to @jbg)
• Upgrade Actix-Web integration to Actix-Web 2.0 (#286, thanks to @DCjanus)
• Default Actix-Web and Gotham integrations to UTF-8 (#219, thanks to @spease)

Other changes:

• Add basic support for {% raw %} blocks (#231, thanks to @FokinPV)
• Allow referencing self as a variable (fixes #207)
• Add support for boolean literals (#265, thanks to @davebrent)

• Support escaping in string literals (#287, thanks to @siiptuo)
• Improve interface for askama_escape (#243, thanks to @quadrupleslap)

• Fix a regression in partial inheritance (#224)
• Improvements to the Actix-Web integration (#223, thanks to @DoumanAsh)
• Clarify documentation on filter precedence (#230, thanks to @notsimon)
