 All Framework packages now require PHP 8.3 or newer.
 
+### Access to input data
+
+Accessing the input data in the input attribute of the application can now only be done via the `getInput()`.
+
+```php
+// Old
+$app->input->getInt();
+
+// New
+$app->getInput()->getInt();
+```

 ### Status on redirect
 
 When calling `$app->redirect()`, you can not hand over a boolean value for the status, but always have to use an integer representing the HTTP status code.
