Deprecation: #84549 - Deprecate methods in CoreVersionService 

See forge#84549

Description 

The core version service has been refactored to make use of the new REST API available via https://get.typo3.org/v1/api/doc.

Due to that refactoring multiple methods in class CoreVersionService have been marked as deprecated:

  • getDownloadBaseUrl()
  • isYoungerPatchDevelopmentReleaseAvailable()
  • getYoungestPatchDevelopmentRelease()
  • updateVersionMatrix()

Impact 

Usage of any of these methods will trigger a PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED error.

Affected Installations 

Any that use the mentioned methods.

Migration 

  • For getDownloadBaseUrl() use https://get.typo3.org directly
  • For isYoungerPatchDevelopmentReleaseAvailable() use isYoungerPatchReleaseAvailable() as the current releases do not make use of development suffixes (like alpha or rc) anymore
  • For getYoungestPatchDevelopmentRelease() use getYoungestPatchRelease()
  • updateVersionMatrix() needs no replacement method - instead the necessary information can be fetched directly via the REST API
