SIL™ Template Language
A major change is the mail templates support. We introduced STL (SIL SIL™ Template Language), a feature that allows you to put snippets of SIL™ in certain file and run embedded programs. The feature matches closely with JSP in terms of syntax, for instance you write embedded SIL code within the email body.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scheduling |
| Scheduled tasks became permanent. Because of that, the previous rules linked to the distinct task as well as the keys of the scheduled tasks have been changed to reflect the new concept. | Mitigation / solutions may be found in the corresponding section: Scheduling routines. The identified risk is low, but make sure you have a good grasp of the change. You will need to modify the scripts to reflect it. | ||||||
| Mail Templates |
| Previous versions did a simple search / replace over variables defined between dollar signs (e.g. $var$). If one variable was missing, it was just skipped, and an error was logged. With the introduction of STL, the produced intermediate SIL SIL™ script syntax must be valid, and all custom fields and variables must exist in the scope. | You will need to correct your mail templates. Make sure all variables are defined. You will find more information about the STL in its dedicated section: SIL™ Template language. The ending SIL SIL™ script must be valid syntactically. |
