TYPO3 4.0 RC1

By: News team

After another very active period of bug fixing and new features, we're finally there: TYPO3 4.0rc1 is released and the TYPO3_4-0 branch is now feature freezed.

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

Make sure you set the version number (the "TYPO3 version", not the "product version") of the bug record to 4.0rc1 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 beta3. Only changed projects are described here.

 

Project overview

Reworked localization features

Most significant is that translations are stored in the language pack directories "typo3conf/l10n/[language key]/ now. Through this changes, the csh_de, csh_fr, etc. are now depricated. See [Appendix A: Localization issues]

New possibility to add and override Page TSConfig via User TSConfig

The Advanced BE Search form extension has been merged into the

"Tools->DB check" module of the core. (Big thanks to Joey Hasenau!)

Added support to modify TypoScript values inside the TS parser using the new := operator.

Example: "myMenu.pidList := addToList(17)" will add 17 to the comma separated list of PIDs in the TypoScript object "myMenu.pidList".

Appendix A: Localization issues

The translation-framework currently is in a phase of a transition. The former well known localized csh_* extensions, that used to provide the localized labels are deprecated as of version 4.0. If you need localization-support for testing of the release candidate follow this instruction:

• create a folder by the name of typo3conf/l10n
• get the localization as .tgz distribution from http://194.117.233.66/typo3/t3l10n/typo3conf/l10n/status.html
• unpack the .tgz into typo3conf/l10n (keeping the folder [locallang-key])

A more comfortable solution will be in place for final release of 4.0
