Deprecation: #82254 - Deprecate $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf']

Description

Affected Installations

All extensions manually getting settings and unserializing them from $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXT']['extConf'] .

Migration

Use a new API to retrieve extension configuration, examples:

// Retrieve a single key
$backendFavicon = (bool)GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ExtensionConfiguration::class)->get('backend', 'backendFavicon');

// Retrieve whole configuration
$backendConfiguration = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ExtensionConfiguration::class)->get('backend');

// Fully qualified class names for usage in ext_localconf.php / ext_tables.php
$backendConfiguration = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance(
    \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Configuration\ExtensionConfiguration::class
)->get('backend');
