A series of class properties has been set to protected. They will throw deprecation warnings if called public from outside: * [not scanned] :php:`$content` * :php:`$processDataFlag` * [not scanned] :php:`$pid` * [not scanned] :php:`$table` * [not scanned] :php:`$id` * :php:`$P` * :php:`$returnEditConf` All methods not used as entry points by :php:`TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Http\RouteDispatcher` will be removed or set to protected in v10 and throw deprecation warnings if used from a third party: * [not scanned] :php:`init()` * [not scanned] :php:`main()` Due to refactoring the :php:`init()` method does not perform a redirect anymore in case no ``pid`` was set by GET params. This redirect has been moved and will be performed for legacy code by the deprecated :php:`main()` method now. Additionally :php:`$GLOBALS['SOBE']` is not set by the :php:`AddController` constructor anymore. Impact ====== Calling one of the above methods or accessing one of the above properties on an instance of :php:`AddController` will throw a deprecation warning in v9 and a PHP fatal in v10. Affected Installations ====================== The extension scanner will find most usages, but may also find some false positives. The most common property and method names like :php:`$content` are not registered and will not be found if an extension uses that on an instance of :php:`AddController`. In general all extensions that set properties or call methods except :php:`mainAction()` are affected. Migration ========= In general, extensions should not instantiate and re-use controllers of the core. Existing usages should be rewritten to be free of calls like these. .. index:: Backend, PHP-API, PartiallyScanned
