Public bug reported:
The Dwoo templating engine, which we use to process all our Smarty
templates is no longer maintained. The website has been taken down and
the Github project is archived: https://github.com/dwoo-project/dwoo
This may start to cause problems for us as PHP moves on and Dwoo does
not keep up with the new code. Currently it has been unmaintained since
2018. It looks like Dwoo was developed to make Smarty faster, but
perhaps it is no longer faster. Smarty is at least patched for the
latest PHP versions.
We need to investigate what to do next in order to not be relying on an
unmaintained library for all our templating. We can probably patch it
ourselves for a limited time, but will need to move on from Dwoo.
