Deprecation: #85553 - PageRepository language-related methods use null as default value 

See forge#85553

Description 

The second parameter of the following methods now have a different default value ( null ) than before ( -1 ), to detect if the parameter is omitted or passed in explicitly:

  • TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Page\PageRepository->getPageOverlay()
  • TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Page\PageRepository->getPagesOverlay()

Impact 

Calling one of these methods with the second argument with -1 will trigger a PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED error.

Affected Installations 

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions related to language handling.

Migration 

In the unlikely case of directly calling these methods with -1 , it is recommended to remove the second (optional) parameter completely, which will work in TYPO3 v8, TYPO3 v9 and in TYPO3 v10.
