  62 * Categorization API improvements
  63
  64 \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::makeCategorizable() can now
  65 be used multiple times on the same table to add more than one category field.
  66 The options array (the fourth parameter) now can contain a 'label' to set a
  67 custom label for each category field.

  71 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  72
  73 * Minor API change in \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObjectRenderer->getTreeList()
  74
  75 getTreeList() got some cleanup and slightly changed its return result. Former
  76 versions sometimes returned a trailing comma which is not the case anymore.
  77
  78 Before:
  79 getTreeList(42, 4) // get pids for pageId 42, 4 levels deep
  80 result: '0, 22, 11, 4,'
  81
  82 After:
  83 getTreeList(42, 4)
  84 result: '0, 22, 11, 4'

  90 * Content-length Header is now enabled by default
  91
  92 The TypoScript setting config.enableContentLengthHeader has a new default
  93 value and is now enabled by default.
  94
  95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  96 Extbase
  97 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  98
  99 * Recursive object validation
 100
 101 Validation of object structures in extbase is now done recursively. If a tree
 102 of objects is created by the new property mapper, not only the top level object
 103 is validated, but all objects.
 104
 105 * Allow empty validation
 106
 107 In order to make a property required you now need to add the NotEmptyValidator
 108 to your property. The return value of validators is now optional.
 109
 110 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 111 Fluid
 112 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 113
 114 * Image view helper does not render title tag by default
 115
 116 In previous versions of fluid the image view helper always rendered the
 117 title attribute. If not set, the value of the required alt attribute was set as
 118 title.
 119 This fallback was removed with version 6.2. If not specifically set, title
 120 is not rendered anymore.
 121
 122 Example:
 123   Fluid Tag
 124     <f:image src="{file}" alt="Alt-Attribute" />
 125   will render
 126     <img src="fileadmin/xxxx.jpg" alt="Alt-Attribute" />
 127   and not
 128     <img src="fileadmin/xxxx.jpg" alt="Alt-Attribute" title="Alt-Attribute" />
