==================================================================================
Deprecation: #107229 - Deprecate :php:`Annotation` namespace of Extbase attributes
==================================================================================

See :issue:`107229`

Description
===========

With the :ref:`removed support for PHP annotations in Extbase
<breaking-107229-1754602036>`, the class namespace
:php:`\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation` no longer reflects classes using PHP
annotations. It now contains PHP attributes only.

The class namespace of all PHP attributes used with models, DTOs, and controller
actions in the Extbase context has been moved to
:php:`\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Attribute`.

Developers and integrators are advised to migrate existing class usages to the
new namespace. The deprecated namespace will be removed in TYPO3 v15.0.

Impact
======

Usage of the deprecated class namespace is no longer recommended but will
continue to work until TYPO3 v15.0.

Affected installations
======================

Instances using the deprecated class namespace for Extbase attributes in
models, DTOs, or controller actions are affected.

Migration
=========

Aside from :ref:`migrating PHP annotations to PHP attributes
<breaking-107229-1754602036-migration>`, existing usages of the class namespace
:php:`\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Annotation` should be updated to
:php:`\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Attribute`:
