+=head1 HISTORY
+
+The Template Toolkit began its life as the C<Text::MetaText> module,
+originally released to CPAN around 1996.  This itself was the public
+manifestation of an earlier template processing system I developed
+while working at Peritas (now Knowledge Pool -
+http://www.knowledgepool.com/)
+
+C<Text::MetaText> was the prototype - the one we always planned to throw
+away.  It did the job well, showing us what worked and what didn't, what
+was good and what was bad, and gave us some ideas about what could be
+done better, given the chance to start again from scratch.
+
+Some time late in 1998 I threw away the prototype and started work on the
+Template Toolkit. By then I was working at Canon Research Centre Europe Ltd.
+(CRE), involved in a general research programme related to web publishing and
+dynamic content generation. The first alpha release was in June 1999, followed
+by numerous more alpha and beta releases culminating in 1.00 being released on
+2nd December 1999.
+
+A month or so later, work had begun on version 2.00. The plan was to get the
+template language relatively stable in version 1.00 and not worry too much
+about performance or other internal matters. Then, version 2.00 would follow
+to improve performance, clean up the architecture and fix anything that, with
+the benefit of hindsight, we thought could be improved. As it happens, me
+starting work on version 2.00 coincided with Doug Steinwand sending me his
+parser variant which compiled templates to Perl code, giving a major
+performance boost. As well as the speedups, there are a whole host of
+significant new features in version 2.00, and a greatly improved internal
+architecture. Apart from a few minor "fixups" the template directives and
+language have remained the same as in version 1.00
+
+Version 2.00 was available in beta release form in July 2000, just in time for
+the 4th Perl Conference where version 1.00 was awarded "Best New Perl Module".
+After another extended beta release period, version 2.00 was released on 1st
+December 2000.
+
+Version 3 has been in development ever since.
