Deprecation: #83592 - impexp: Removed "Maximum number of records" restriction

See forge#83592

Description

When exporting pages or records using the "Export" interface of extension impexp, the restriction to export only a maximum number of records has been removed.

Impact

The export module now exports any number of records. It is up to the user to restrict this in a sane way: During import the number of records influences import runtime. This heavily depends on given server performance, an artificial limit given by the system is not suitable.

On PHP level, two export related methods changed their signature:

  • TYPO3\CMS\Impexp\Controller\ImportExportController->addRecordsForPid() - Third method argument marked as deprecated

  • TYPO3\CMS\Impexp\Controller\ImportExportController->exec_listQueryPid - Third method argument marked as deprecated

Affected Installations

Backend interface users are probably not affected much: Users of the export module usually set the 'maximum number of records' value high enough to export everything they wanted already. The interface now just misses the according input fields.

Migration

On PHP level, the extension scanner will find extensions that use the changed methods and checks if they are called with the correct number of arguments. Additionally, E_USER_DEPRECATED errors are logged at runtime if using these methods the old way.
