 = Add Support for the Jinja2 Template Engine
 
-We've decided some time ago to remove support for the ClearSilver template engine, in Trac 0.12, but this didn't happen yet. Clearsilver had its share of inconveniences, enough that we decided to switch to the nicer [http://genshi.edgewall.org/ Genshi template engine] in 0.12, but it was **very** fast and memory lenient. While we managed to keep Genshi memory usage somewhat in control (remember #6614), the speed was never really adequate, especially for big changesets and for displaying source files over a few thousand lines of code (see TracDev/Performance#Genshi for details).

 So one solution would be to switch once again, to a template engine that would combine the advantages of Genshi (pure Python, nice templates, flexible) and ClearSilver (speed!). Such a beast seems to exist now: **[http://jinja.pocoo.org/2/documentation/ Jinja2]**.

+See also [googlegroups:trac-dev:fc8d8c0447140110 this Trac-Dev discussion] from 2010, which is still pertinent. Well, obviously we managed to release Genshi 0.6 since then, but the issue is a recurring one, see this recent (2016-01)
