ActionLog plugin app and db property is deprecated​

File: administrator/components/com_actionlogs/src/Plugin/ActionLogPlugin.php Replacement: The $this->app and $this->db property is deprecated in the actionlog plugins. Instead of use $this->getApplication() and $this->getDatabase() when the plugin is converted to service providers.

Class deprecations

Planned to be removed in Joomla! 7.0.

File: components/com_banners/src/Helper/BannerHelper.php

Replacement: no replacement

The function BannerHelper::isImage($url) has been replaced with a combination of Joomla\CMS\Helper\MediaHelper::isImage($url) for pixel-based image files and Joomla\CMS\Helper\MediaHelper::getMimeType($url) === 'image/svg+xml' for vector based image files after being sanitized with the helper function Joomla\CMS\HTML\HTMLHelper::cleanImageURL($imageurl)

getItem function returns \stdClass in AdminModel​

PR: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/42717 File: libraries/src/MVC/Model/AdminModel.php Description: The getItem() function in the AdminModel has now the return type of \stdClass. Internally is still the CMSObject returned which inherits from \stdClass.
