Deprecation: #94791 - GeneralUtility::minifyJavaScript()
See forge#94791
Description
The static method TYPO3\
has been marked as deprecated.
Back in TYPO3 4.x times, the "jsmin" library was used to minify
JavaScript, however as this became more flexible, a hook was
introduced, and then "jsmin" was removed again. Since then,
the hook to minify inline JavaScript is used in PageRenderer,
and should rather be moved into the Resource functionality,
where it resides now.
The hook itself works exactly as before.
Impact
Calling the method will trigger a PHP E_ error. Extension
scanner will detect calls as strong match.
Affected Installations
TYPO3 installations with custom extensions calling this method, which is highly unlikely.
Custom extensions using this hook will still work as before without any changes.
Migration
As this method was used to only trigger a hook, it is recommended
to use the Page and Resource API instead, removing
any direct calls to this method.
If still needed, extension authors can also copy the hook call execution to use the hook logic, which is not recommended though.
