[TYPO3-mvc] [!!!] FYI: Breaking changes in recent commit of Extbase

[Jochen Rau]

Hi.

We dropped implodeXX() since r2036. But you can now say

$query->matching($query->logicalAnd($constraint1, $constraint2, 
$constraint3, $constraint4, $constraint5));

or

$constraints = array($constraint1, $constraint2, $constraint3, 
$constraint4, $constraint5);
$query->matching($query->logicalAnd($constraints));

Same for logicalOr().

Regards
Jochen
