# Breaking: #69904 - Remove Setting diff_path from DefaultConfiguration {#breaking-69904}

See [forge#69904](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/69904)

## Description {#description}

Creating a diff view of text has been replaced with a PHP library instead of using `diff` on the command line.
Thus we no longer need to be able to configure the path.

## Impact {#impact}

The setting `[BE][diff_path]` will no longer have any effect.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any Installation that had to define a path different than `diff`

## Migration {#migration}

Delete the line from LocalConfiguration.php if the UpgradeWizard should fail to do so.
