# Breaking: #102931 - Removed hook in GifBuilder {#breaking-102931-1706198332}

See [forge#102931](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/102931)

## Description {#description}

The hook `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['tslib/class.tslib_gifbuilder.php']['gifbuilder-ConfPreProcess']`
has been removed.

This hook was solely introduced in TYPO3 v3.8.0 for a specific use case which
isn't needed anymore, and thus removed.

At the same time the whole `GifBuilder` class is now strictly typed.

## Impact {#impact}

PHP code utilizing this hook will not be executed anymore.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installations with extensions utilizing this hook, which is highly unlikely.

Any usages can be found with the Extension Scanner in the Install Tool.

## Migration {#migration}

It is recommended to hand in custom configuration already into GifBuilder
directly, and remove any usages to the hook in custom extension code.
