Breaking: #106041 - TypoScript Extbase toggle config.tx_extbase.persistence.updateReferenceIndex removed
See forge#106041
Description
Extbase previously supported the TypoScript toggle
config. to control
whether the reference index should be updated when records are persisted.
It has become increasingly important that the reference index is always kept up to date, since an increasing number of TYPO3 Core components rely on current reference index data. Using the reference index at key points can improve read and rendering performance significantly.
This toggle has been removed. Reference index updating is now always enabled.
Impact
The change may slightly increase database load, which can become noticeable when Extbase updates many records at once.
Affected installations
Instances with extensions that write many records using the Extbase persistence layer may be affected.
Migration
The TypoScript toggle
config. should be
removed from any extension codebase, as it is now ignored by Extbase.
