Deprecation: #60574 - Client Related Conditions
===============================================
See :issue:`60574`
Description
===========
Conditions that depend on client details are unlovely for a number
of reasons:
* Per condition or permutation of conditions that matches, the frontend
creates a different cache entry. This can lead to a very high number
of cache entries per page
* Conditions based on browser or clients on server side are bad practice.
* The device information in the core is outdated (for example it is possible to match "AMIGA")
* Setups like reverse proxies give additional headaches with these types of conditions
* All client related condition types are deprecated with this patch.
Impact
======
Usage of client related TypoScript conditions will result in a deprecation log message. Client related conditions
are browser, version, system and useragent.
Affected installations
======================
Installations using TypoScript conditions for browser, version, system or useragent.
Migration
=========
* Most usual conditions for specific browsers can nowadays be turned into conditional CSS includes
* Use libraries such as modernizr for browser support
* If conditions for specific clients or devices are still needed, they
should be done with a userFunc condition and a project like WURFL
that keep the device information more recent than the current core
code like matching AMIGA
