TYPO3 4.0 Beta 3

By: News team

As some of you have noticed in the core-list [1]/[2], the TYPO3 development team has been very active during the last weeks. The result of this is TYPO3 4.0beta3 - a beta release that contains a lot of bug fixes and some major new features.

Please test this release as much as possible and report bugs to bugs.typo3.org.

Make sure you set the version number (the "TYPO3 version", not the "product version") of the bug record to 4.0-RC1 because the bug fixing team will mainly look at these bugs until the release of the final version.

 

Important note

Please see the Announcement of TYPO3 4.0 beta2. Only changed projects are described here.

 

Project overview

Extension manager for the new Extension Repository (TER2)

Please especially test that up- and downloading of extensions works.

No symlinks needed anymore.

If you want, you can still keep them (e.g. if you are using old extensions that depend on e.g. t3lib/ to exist in typo3/t3lib/ as well) but the TYPO3 Core doesn't depend on them anymore. Of course you can still use symlinks to change between different typo3_src-x.x.x folders.

No need for "showpic.php" anymore.

Click-enlarge links now look like "index.php?eID=tx_cms_showpic&..." The technique behind this feature may become very useful for AJAX and webservice scripts, too.

Versioning works with older MySQL versions as well now

Form eval API

It's now possible to supply own JavaScript and PHP form evaluations to input fields defined in the TCA (thanks to Thomas Hempel)

GIFBUILDER can create truecolor images now

ss_dragdrop extension has been integrated into the core.

That means drag and drop works for pages in the pagetree. When you drop a page inside of another page, a context menu will pop up asking your whether to copy, move or create a shortcut at that position. (Thanks to Stephane Schitter)
