Thanks for the report @kkrzyzaniak . We are well aware of that, but unfortunately lack the time and resources to address these problems at the moment.

As it stands, this issue is not directly actionable, so I'll close it. It should be split into separate issues (one per library). Feel free to follow up in the ones I listed below, which I could find with a quick search; I let you double-check and open new Issues to track other libraries' replacement or upgrade as needed, if they don't already exist.

Also keep in mind that MantisBT is open source software, so it would be great if you could contribute with research for alternatives, or even submit pull requests to help reduce obsolescence.
