I have this code in my theme:
$intro = '';
$intro = $item->introtext;
JHTML::_('string.truncate');
echo JHtmlString::truncate($intro,110, true, false);
when update to 3.9 I have this error:

In 3.8.12 no have a problem.
Remove JHTML::_('string.truncate') or change JHtmlString::truncate($intro,110, true, false) to JHtml::_('string.truncate', $intro,110, true, false).
Thank you, issue solved, but why it working in 3.8.12 ?
No idea. Doesn't work for me on 3.8.12.
For me JHTML::_('string.truncate'); does also not work on 3.8.12. Do you have the same error reporting setting in your Joomla config?
can be not. thank you everyone!
