Whole project started from creating Quake 2 league in Poland & Quake 2's demos section. After success on polish scene it becomes european and later worldwide Quake 2 portal which alows me to create and test league scripts. Since middle of 2006 I decided to make it as open project which (as I hope) will help many people to create theirs own leagues.
2008-05-05, KML2 beta now faster.. | Claymore
Transition of script is practically finish and results are as follow:new KML2 20% slower then KML1.x
new KML2 40% faster then KML2 with smarty+full ADOdb
In tests I turn off some libraries for testing which makes script so much slower in first test where I indicate 2x slower performance.
There still can be some small issues, but if someone is interested in early release get this package and let me know if it works for you.
2008-04-28, ADOdb, smarty or .. ? | Claymore
Frankly speaking lately I feel that I made few mistakes with new development ... and slowly when people start to work with KML 2 they start to complain about learning curve for SMARTY and now I made performance tests and it comes that new version is about 2 times slower then old development.Performance becomes more important after last issues with hosting company which suspend my account cuz of too big usage of resources... so with new scripts it would more likely to happen.
So now I'm in the middle of making one of most important decisions for this project .. actually I'm already convinced to search for another template engine (now considering this) and also lighter replacement for ADOdb library ... everything to make script more faster so people will less likely have problems with hosting companies. To change template engine I also considered easiness of use and biggest problem with SMARTY is that this is another language (very similar to PHP but still another) which wont benefit for community and rather push people away.
I wish to be smarter few months ago, but I believe that its better to make small revolution now then after months of existence of KML 2.x when performance problems might to start to occur. I know that few of you guys waste time on helping me (especially bzzik) testing KML 2.x and really sorry for that but I think that we need to make this sacrifice to be more happy league admins in future.
Every comment appreciated.

So finally it happens I fell how it is to have account on shared hosting...My hosting provider accuse me for overusing server resources and suspend my account without giving me even a chance to fix the problem, nor even a warning before they did it.
So what really happens .. I did my own investigation and the answer is that script used by my pal who I share hosting with gets more popular and day by day needed more resources.
I could blame him ... but thats not his fault that the site gets more popular. As a good hosting administrator I would see that some scripts take more resources then others and I would warn user who use that script.. but that doesn't happen. Few days ago I simply read mail that my scripts take too much resources and crash server last few days so they suspend my account and say that they don't want to see my there anymore ... moreover they set this issue to low priority, just in case that they would have to reply fast on this problem.
So with the lowest possible reply time it took me over 12 hours to get access to backup of my account (I waited about 3-4 hours for single replies).
To dont make story too long, STAY away from hostnine you won't find professional hosting from this provider.
Tho that was lesson learned, now I'm searching for VPS which seems to be only reasonable solution for stable hosting.
2008-04-07, KMLeague 2 beta2 | Claymore
Few bugs and missing functionalities was added in this release:- show hidden leagues for admins (so admins can prepare league before users can see it);
- fix for remember function and security fixes in login module;
- wrapper (pass wrap_kml=1 in browser to see only result of function from kmleague, or set $_GET['wrap_kml'] = 1);
- registration mails use mail address from user id=1;
- other minor bugs (see next post on form).
