+====================================================
+Deprecation: #85895 - Deprecate File::_getMetaData()
+====================================================
+
+See :issue:`85895`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The internal method :php:`File::_getMetaData()` which is used to fetch meta data of a file has been marked as deprecated. This method has been superseded by the :php:`MetaDataAspect`.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Using this method will trigger a deprecation entry.
+
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+Any 3rd party extension calling :php:`_getMetaData()` is affected.
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+To fetch the meta data, call :php:`$fileObject->getMetaData()->get()` instead.
