Bug Description
The Dwoo templating engine, which we use to process all our Smarty templates is no longer maintained.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:/
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.
