# Breaking: #61785 - getCompressedTCarray and includeTCA from TypoScriptFrontendController removed

See [forge#61785](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/61785)

## Description

Methods `getCompressedTCarray()` and `includeTCA()` from `TYPO3CMSFrontendControllerTypoScriptFrontendController`
have been removed.

## Impact

Extensions that still use `TYPO3CMSFrontendControllerTypoScriptFrontendController::getCompressedTCarray()`
or `TYPO3CMSFrontendControllerTypoScriptFrontendController::includeTCA()` will trigger a fatal error.

## Affected installations

A TYPO3 instance is affected if a 3rd party extension uses one of the removed functions.

## Migration

Full TCA is always loaded during bootstrap in FE, the methods are obsolete.
If an eid script calls this method to load TCA, use `TYPO3CMSFrontendUtilityEidUtility::initTCA()` instead.
