************************************************************************
General
-==================
+=======
- * ...
+ * TYPO3 requires PHP 5.2 now
+
+ * Support for OpenID auhentication with a new system extension for both FE and BE.
+ Any user with a valid OpenID identifier may log in when the OpenID authentication
+ is successful.
Backend
-==================
+=======
* Extension Manager: You can now set a new option "excludeFromUpdates" in every
- every extensions' ext_emconf.php array. This way, it is a) not shown in the
+ every extensions' ext_emconf.php array. This way, it is a) not shown in the
list of extensions to update and b) is shown a exclamation mark in order to
prevent updates for this extension. This is very useful if you made local changes
to an extension and don't want any admin to overwrite them.

Frontend
-==================
+========
* The message log of the admin panel will report failures to set the locale
+
* Integrated functionality of extension jb_status_code into core:
It is now possible to specify a redirection code (301, 302, 303 or
307) together with a domain redirection in a sys_domain record.
-Development
-====================
+ * Added option named "additionalAbsRefPrefixDirectories" for Frontend in the Install tool.
+ This option is useful if the installation uses non-TYPO3 applications and links to
+ them from extensions. Earlier TYPO3 prepended only media/, typo3conf/ext/ and
+ fileadmin/ directories automatically with config.absRefPrefix. Using the new variable
+ administrators can tell TYPO3 to prepend also other directories inside the site root
+ with config.absRefPrefix.
- * ...
+ * Added new Install tool option named "dbClientCompress". This option will
+ enable MySQL compression for network traffic. This is useful if
+ MySQl is not on the same host as the web server. Do not use this option if MySQL
+ is on the same host because it will only slow down the process. However if MySQL
+ is on the other host, this option may impove performance significally.
-TypoScript changes
-==================
+Compatibility
+=============
- * ...
+ * The caching system has been revamped. It is not possible to query the cache tables directly.
+ Any compliant extension has to use the new caching framework.
-Database changes
-================
+ * The simulateStaticDocument functionality (URLs like "MyPage.13.0.html" instead of "index.php?id=13")
+ was extracted and put to a separate system extension "simulatestatic".
- * ...
+ * The frontend editing functionality was extracted into a separate system extension "frontend_edit".
-DBAL
-====
+Development
+===========
- * ...
+ * t3lib_div::makeInstance now supports singletons. To mark a class as a
+ singleton it must implement the t3lib_singleton interface.
-Frontend features
-=================
+ * A new caching framework has been added. It allows extensions to store temporary data
+ transparently to different cache back ends (database, file system or memory).
* Frontend plugins now can convert themselves from USER to USER_INT on the fly. This
is useful for plugins who can disallow caching using a TSConfig option (for example,
}
* Class tslib_eidtools is enhanced with new methods for eID/AJAX applications:
- public static function initLanguage($language = 'default');
+ static function initLanguage($language = 'default');
Creates $GLOBALS['LANG'] for the given language
- public static function initTCA();
+ static function initTCA();
Loads 'ctrl' sections for TCA tables from all installed extensions
- public static function initExtensionTCA($extensionKey);
+ static function initExtensionTCA($extensionKey);
Similar to initTCA() but loads the table only for the given extension
- * Added option named "additionalAbsRefPrefixDirectories" for Frontend in the Install tool.
- This option is useful if the installation uses non-TYPO3 applications and links to
- them from extensions. Earlier TYPO3 prepended only media/, typo3conf/ext/ and
- fileadmin/ directories automatically with config.absRefPrefix. Using the new variable
- administrators can tell TYPO3 to prepend also other directories inside the site root
- with config.absRefPrefix.

+ * Class t3lib_extMgm has new methods to enhance palettes:
+ t3lib_extMgm::addFieldsToAllPalettesOfField($table, $field, $addFields, $insertionPosition = '');
+ Adds new fields to all palettes of an existing field.
+ t3lib_extMgm::addFieldsToPalette($table, $palette, $addFields, $insertionPosition = '');
+ Adds new fields to a palette.
+
+TypoScript changes
+==================
+
+Database changes
+================
+
+ * The database tables cache_hash, cache_pagesections and cache_pages have been
+ changed due to a move to the new caching framework.
+
+ * Reference indexes storing table names have been extended from 40 to 255 chars
