+=====================================
+Breaking: #68150 - $GLOBALS['CLIENT']
+=====================================
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The initialization of the $GLOBALS['CLIENT'] variable has been dropped.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Extensions that use $GLOBALS['CLIENT'] will cause a PHP notice or may not function properly any more.
+
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+Installations with extensions that use $GLOBALS['CLIENT'] are affected.
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+Extensions can still use GeneralUtility::clientInfo() API to retrieve the same information.
