# Deprecation: #94959 - ContentObjectRenderer constructor in StandaloneView

See [forge#94959](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/94959)

## Description

The `\TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer` constructor
argument of `\TYPO3\CMS\Fluid\View\StandaloneView` has been marked as
deprecated. The TYPO3 core never used this optional argument and
it added a hard dependency to Extbase classes from StandaloneView, which should
be avoided.

The `ContentObjectRenderer` instance within `StandaloneView` has been used to update
the Extbase `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Configuration\ConfigurationManager` singleton,
even though Extbase bootstrap already sets the current ContentObjectRenderer to
`ConfigurationManager`.

## Impact

Extensions creating instances of `StandaloneView` and handing over an
instance of `ContentObjectRenderer` as constructor argument will see a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error raised.

## Affected Installations

Most instances are probably not affected by this change since handing over
the constructor argument is rather unusual.

## Migration

Do not hand over an instance of `ContentObjectRenderer` when creating an
instance of `StandaloneView`.
