Make extension compatible with TYPO3 10

Are there any plans to make this extension compatible with TYPO3 10? Is it still useful for TYPO3 10?

Not at this time, no. It's relatively low priority below my day job and other extensions.

Is it still useful for TYPO3 10?

Since reference indexing is still a thing in TYPO3, I'd say yes.

I created a version that is compatible with TYPO3 10. It was basically a migration of the Extbase command controller to a Symfony Console Command and a migration of the Signal Slot to a PSR-14 Event. I didn't change and test the workspace part at all. So this could be broken. You may want to take a look before I create a pull request: https://github.com/tobenschmidt/asynchronous_reference_indexing/commits/typo3-10

Any chance my pull request #27 could be merged soon? I'm fine with using my fork but an official release with TYPO3 10 compatibility would be better of course.

I'm afraid I can't merge the pull request since it is both breaking (command renamed) and drops all support for TYPO3 versions before 10.4. If you wish to have it merged then I must request that you restore compatibility with TYPO3 down to and including v8.7.

Ok. It doesn't make sense to me to keep backwards compatibility with these rather large and neccessary changes. Why not have a version 3.0.0 that is only compatible with TYPO3 10? Anyway. I'll stick to my fork then.

Why not have a version 3.0.0 that is only compatible with TYPO3 10?

Mainly because I'm the only person maintaining the extension (for free) and the initial sponsor does not use v10.

There has been a rather large change regarding the updating of the reference index recently that breaks my TYPO3 10 compatible version of asynchronous_reference_indexing: [TASK] Deferred reference index updating. It may be that this extension is superfluous from TYPO3 10.4.9 on or at least needs some rewriting but I didn't check in detail yet.
