README

Slim 2.3.0 introduced a change which makes mcrypt extension mandatory when using Composer. There are cases when you can not or want not to install the extension. If you still want to use composer add tuupola/slim-fake-mcrypt to composer.json and you are good to go.

Problem was fixed in release 2.4.2. This package exists for historical reasons only.
