  51
  52 * Categorization API improvements
  53
  54 \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::makeCategorizable() can now
  55 be used multiple times on the same table to add more than one category field.
  56 The options array (the fourth parameter) now can contain a 'label' to set a
  57 custom label for each category field.

  60 Frontend
  61 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  62
  63 * Minor API change in \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObjectRenderer->getTreeList()
  64
  65 getTreeList() got some cleanup and slightly changed its return result. Former
  66 versions sometimes returned a trailing comma which is not the case anymore.
  67
  68 Before:
  69 getTreeList(42, 4) // get pids for pageId 42, 4 levels deep
  70 result: '0, 22, 11, 4,'
  71
  72 After:
  73 getTreeList(42, 4)
  74 result: '0, 22, 11, 4'
  75

  77 Administration / Customization
  78 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  79
  80 * Content-length Header is now enabled by default
  81
  82 The TypoScript setting config.enableContentLengthHeader has a new default
  83 value and is now enabled by default.
  84
  85 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  86 Extbase
  87 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  88
  89 * Recursive object validation
  90
  91 Validation of object structures in extbase is now done recursively. If a tree
  92 of objects is created by the new property mapper, not only the top level object
  93 is validated, but all objects.
  94
  95 * Allow empty validation
  96
  97 In order to make a property required you now need to add the NotEmptyValidator
  98 to your property. The return value of validators is now optional.
  99
 100 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 101 Fluid
 102 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 103
 104 * Image view helper does not render title tag by default
 105
 106 In previous versions of fluid the image view helper always rendered the
 107 title attribute. If not set, the value of the required alt attribute was set as
 108 title.
 109 This fallback was removed with version 6.2. If not specifically set, title
 110 is not rendered anymore.
 111
 112 Example:
 113   Fluid Tag
 114     <f:image src="{file}" alt="Alt-Attribute" />
 115   will render
 116     <img src="fileadmin/xxxx.jpg" alt="Alt-Attribute" />
 117   and not
 118     <img src="fileadmin/xxxx.jpg" alt="Alt-Attribute" title="Alt-Attribute" />
