General
==================
- * New PHP version requirement: You need to have at least PHP 4.3.0 in order to run TYPO3 4.1
+ * New PHP version requirement: You need to have at least PHP 5.2.0 in order to run TYPO3 4.2
+ * Workspaces allow moving of elements (for details, see Inside TYPO3, Core API, and this video: http://castor.t3o.punkt.de/files/moving_in_workspaces2.mp4 (/.mov for better quality)
Backend
==================
- * Inline Relational Record Editing (IRRE)
- -> It's now possible to create and edit child records of a record as subforms inside of the form view in the backend
- -> Therefore, the new TCA field type "inline" has been introduced
- -> See http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Inline_Relational_Record_Editing for details
-
- * Bidirectional MM relations: It's now possible to configure MM relations from both sides of the relation.
- -> E.g. an employment relation could now be edited from both the "person" as well as the "company" side. ("employers" of "persons" and "employees" of "companies")
-
- * BE who-is-online
- -> The Tools->Useradmin module now displays which BE users are currently online.
-
- * UTF-8 for filenames
- -> You need to set $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['UTF8filesystem'] to TRUE to enable this feature.
-
- * Improved Extension Manager
- -> Requires less memory
- -> The EM now stores the list of extensions from TER in the database,
- -> see http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2615
-
- * Two nice usability enhancements
- -> Using <label> tags in tceforms where appropriate to enhance usability in the Backend forms
- -> Increase length for titles of be_users, be_groups, and fe_groups
+ * ...
Compatibility
=============
- * Changed the default value of $TYPO3_CONF_VARS[SYS][devIPmask]
+ * ...
Speed improvements
==================
- * TODO Dmitry: explain cache_pagesection speedup
-
- * TODO Dmitry: explain speedup using .htaccess
+ * ...
Development
====================
- * Better getRecordTitle() function
- -> It's now possible to define a "label_userFunc"
- -> This makes it possible to e.g. define the label of a "persons" table as displayed in the list module to be like "Lastname, Firstname". Until now you could only define one field to be the "labelfield".
-
- * Inline Relational Record Editing (see "Backend" section above)
+ * ...
Database changes
================
- * Changed many BLOB fields from int/varchar/whatever to tinyint(1) - this is the field type which is actually intended by MySQL for BLOBs
+ * ...
DBAL
====
Frontend features
=================
- * Autologin for Frontend users is now possible!
- -> Users can decide on their own whether they want to "Stay logged in" using a checkbox. The latest version of the "newloginbox" extension is required for that.
- -> Needs to be configured in the Install Tool ("All Configuration" -> "permalogin" and "lifetime")
-
- * UTF-8 for log files
- -> TYPO3 now logs page paths in UTF-8 if config.stat_apache_niceTitle is set to "utf-8" in the TypoScript template Setup.
-
- * Enable $TYPO3_CONF_VARS[FE][pageNotFoundOnCHashError] by default
- -> URLs (especially plugins) can contain the &cHash parameter. It contains a checksum of the whole paramter set and is very useful for caching.
- -> In the past, a wrong cHash caused the website to be recreated with caching turned off.
- -> With the new behaviour, a wrong cHash will instead trigger an error message since this usually should never happen!
- -> Usually, the cHash is only wrong if a) someone has changed the encryptionKey (bad!) or b) someone has manually modified the requested URL

+ * Missing features concerning the disposal of Inline Relational Record Editing (IRRE)
+ -> Workspaces and Versioning are currently not supported
+ -> FlexForms using the TCA type 'inline' are currently not supported/tested
+ -> Import/Export (sysext tx_impexp) might not work correctly in special cases
