Smarty version 3 is out from some time now. Project says that version 3 is almost 100% compatible with version 2, exceptions are listed there: http://smarty-php.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/distribution/SMARTY_2_BC_NOTES.txt It does not seems any of incompatibilities should be really a blocker; would it be possible to upgrade that package in version 3 in the repositories?
I think so, but for rawhide only. I'll work on it.
Build for rawhide, please test and file BZs as needed.
Ok, I will test that as soon as I'll have a rawhide running somewhere. Thank you for the update :)
