+============================================================
+Breaking: #83243 - Removed cache_phpcode cache configuration
+============================================================
+
+See :issue:`83243`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The Caching Framework configuration for `cache_phpcode` is unused since TYPO3 6.0 and has been removed without substitution.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Using `cache_phpcode` will throw a `NoSuchCacheException`.
+
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+Every installation using a 3rd party extension that still relies on `cache_phpcode` is affected.
