For sake of understanding, my extension is based on pibase and basically does this in main():


$renderer = t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Fluid_View_TemplateView');
$renderer->setControllerContext(t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Extbase_MVC_Controller_ControllerContext'));

$template = t3lib_extMgm::extPath($_EXTKEY) . 'Resources/Private/Templates/Activities/index.html';
$renderer->setTemplatePathAndFilename($template);

// snip: Retrieve some activities with ActivityRepository

$renderer->assign('activities', $activities);
return $renderer->render();

This worked great until recently. Now a dependency seems to have been introduced that prevents Fluid from being used outside of an Extbase controller.
