In our codebase, we have found methods that have wrong nullability, and those we wish to update as soon as possible.
As these are not binary breaking changes, but only source breaking changes we will change those between majors, especially to prevent people from using a non-nullable method that in theory could actually return null, and therefore break their code.
PR that makes the change: N/A
Version
Umbraco 11.0.0-rc1
Previous behaviour
Some methods return non-nullable that can actually be null.
Some methods return nullable that cannot be null.
New behaviour
Some methods return non-nullable that can not be null.
Some methods return nullable that can be null.
Type of breaking change
[x] Source incompatible: Source code may encounter a breaking change in behaviour when targeting the new runtime/component/SDK, such as compile errors or different run-time behaviour.
Reason for change
We want to prevent peoples code from blowing up if they use a non-nullable method in their codebase, and to stop redundant null-checks if they are using a nullable method that can never be null
Recommended action
If you are using a method with a wrong signature, please move to the correct signature instead
