Fraenkiman e544ed6d9a Smatry Release 4.4.1 on Feb-2024
Comparing changes: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/compare/v4.3.1...v4.4.1

It is noticeable that Smarty 4.3.1 does not officially support PHP 8.3. Is only supported with 4.4.0.

Remark:

During tests with Smarty 4.5.1, it was noticed that the following warning occurs:
Deprecated: Using the unregistered function "function_exists" in a template is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Smarty::registerPlugin to explicitly register a custom modifier.

As of Smarty 5.X.X, templates must be revised again.
The Smarty release 5.0.2 is already officially available. However, integration into FlatPress is not entirely trivial.

# default
This is used to set a default value for a variable. If the variable is
unset or an empty string, the given default value is printed instead.
Default takes the one argument.
## Basic usage
```smarty
{$myVar|default:"(none)"}
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|--------|----------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | string | No | *empty* | This is the default value to output if the variable is empty. |
## Examples
```php
<?php
$smarty->assign('articleTitle', 'Dealers Will Hear Car Talk at Noon.');
$smarty->assign('email', '');
```
Where template is:
```smarty
{$articleTitle|default:'no title'}
{$myTitle|default:'no title'}
{$email|default:'No email address available'}
```
