TYPO3 4.2 release

On the eve of the day ubunt on Habrahabr, I will describe another product, which was released a day earlier.

So, on April 23, 2008, version 4.2.0 of the TYPO3 content management system was released.

What is it and what does it eat? o_O



TYPO3 (read like this: taipo three) is a powerful content management system written in the global and reliable PHP language.
Some facts:
Despite all its advantages, it is little known in Russia.
Direct rival Bitrix.
Not designed for community sites and content generated by visitors.
Extremely popular in Germany and Denmark ( illustration )
Unlike, for example, Drupal is based on classes.
It supports multiple sites and multiple domains within the same installation.
Fully supports UTF-8.
Extremely extensible due to extensions located in the repository .
Differs in ease of creating multilingual sites.
It has a built-in workspace mechanism - your editor will not be able to spoil the main page until you publish its changes.
And, (for many) the most important thing is quite difficult to learn.

And detail?


TYPO3 is based on the tree concept. The site structure is displayed as a page tree. Any other information (content elements, news, records about administrators and users of the site, templates, plug-ins and even domains) must be “located” on one of the pages of the site.
The site display (as users see it) is specified using the internal configuration language, TypoScript. Despite -script in the name, there is nothing “scripted” in it, it is just an analogue of ini-files, JSON-a, XML-th or YAML.

More detailed information can be obtained on Wikipedia or in the documentation section (yes, there is a whole book on TYPO3, and not one).

What's new in 4.2?


Firstly, now TYPO3 requires a PHP version of at least 5.2, unlike previous versions, which normally worked on PHP4.

Improvements in the administrative part: almost all frames have been removed (only one iframe remains), everything is redone in divs. In general, the administrative interface has changed a lot for the better. There was a search through the pages (here is this :)


And there was a built-in editor TypoScript'a with backlight, snippets, blackjack and whores

And something else:
The newloginbox extension has been renamed to felogin and is now in the system kernel.
Improvements in the workspace mechanism, for example, the editor can now generate a link to preview his version of the workspace and send it to a person who does not have access to the administrative part.
Removed so everyone got the message "Page is being generated".

Of course, new features and fixed bugs are not limited to the above, they are just the most noticeable changes. Those interested can read the official press release and a detailed description of the new features. And do not forget to read the Russian FAQ before installing, and maybe visit the forum of the Russian TYPO3 community :)
