Summary	0031699: Upgrade Slim Framework to 4.x
Description	Slim 3.x has reached end-of-life and is only getting security updates. PHP 8.1 compatibility is limited, and the Slim team have clearly stated that they will not accept pull request to fix that. The latest version of Slim (4.11.0 as of this writing) requires PHP 7.4.

dregad 2023-09-02 07:09 developer ~0068059	The latest version of Slim (4.11.0 as of this writing) requires PHP 7.4. Actually, PHP 7.4 is only required as of Slim 4.10.0. PHP 7.2 support was dropped in Slim 4.9.0, so we could consider upgrading to 4.8.1 with our current requirements.

dregad 2025-01-26 10:29 developer ~0069756	It looks like making our old Slim 3.x work under PHP 8.4 is not going to be possible without patching the source, as some of the errors are occurring before the custom handler that I implemented in 0032866 is in place, so they cannot be caught with it.

dregad 2025-01-31 20:57 developer ~0069805	I managed to find a workaround to run on PHP 8.4 without upgrading to Slim 4, see 0035284.
