Smarty 5 support

[DariusIII]

Are there plans to add Smarty 5 support?

Thank you for your interest and suggestion!
While I currently don't have plans to actively develop Smarty 5 support myself (as I'm not heavily using PHP for development these days),
I would love to see it added. If you or anyone else is interested in implementing it,
please feel free to create a pull request.
Contributions are always welcome!

I have started working on it, but there are a lot of undocumented changes and stuff that do not work same as in 4.x. Even things they say could be used, actualy do not work at all. Will have to dig deeper in smarty code to make it work properly.
I have started using smarty without this package, aka directly, and still hit the same wall. Main configuration is fine, but plugin support has changed and they deprecated some of the basic stuff that used to work.
