===============================================================================
Compatibility
===============================================================================
-* PHP 5.3
+* Refactored bootstrap
-This version requires at least PHP 5.3, older versions of PHP are not supported
-anymore with TYPO3 4.7.
+With a bootstrap refactoring the index.php file located in the document root of
+the installation was changed. If you are running a typo3 core source with a
+symlink, make sure that this file is also a symlink to the cores index.php,
+otherwise the frontend will be broken. If index.php is a copy of the source
+file, make sure to install a fresh version from 6.0 sources.
- * safe_mode is not supported anymore
- * magic_quotes_gpc is deprecated. You are encouraged to turn this option
- off as it still defaults to "On".
+* Deprecated methods
-* ImageMagick
+Deprecated methods that were initially targeted to be removed in TYPO3 4.8/6.0
+have finally been removed. The deprecation log shows which functions were
+declared to be deprecated and will be removed in the next TYPO3 versions.
-If you are using ImageMagick, only versions 6.0 and above are supported.
+* Removed classes prior to scheduled deprecation removal
-* Deprecated methods
+t3lib_BEDisplayLog: This class was used only by the old belog module, its
+functionality is now encapsulated in EXT:belog itself. Since it is very
+unlikely that the class was used by other external extensions, the file was
+removed instead of deprecating it.
-Deprecated methods that were initially targeted to be removed in TYPO3 4.7 have
-finally been removed. The deprecation log shows which functions were declared
-to be deprecated and will be removed in the next TYPO3 versions.
+* New XCLASS handling
+
+The old way of registering XCLASSes in $TYPO3_CONF_VARS[TYPO3_MODE]['XCLASS'] is
+deprecated. XCLASSES can now be registered by adding a 'ux_' prefixed entry of
+the base class to the ext_autoload.php file providing the XCLASS path. The
+deprecation layer for old class registration can potentially calculate a wrong
+path so the XCLASS registration can fail now. This can be fixed by addiononally
+using the new registration scheme through ext_autoload.
+Extension authors are advised to remove the three line XCLASS statement at the
+bottom of class files now for any extension with a compatibility for 6.0 and above.

Removed Functionality
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-* ...
+* Removed doNotLoadInFE flag
+
+With TYPO3 4.3 the flag doNotLoadInFE flag was introduced in ext_emconf.php
+extension files to hint the core that an extension has no frontend
+functionality. The performance gain of this change in the frontend was minimal.
+The flag is now removed and the according extList_FE setting in localconf.php
+has no effect anymore.
+
+* Removed system extension simulatestatic
+
+The system extension to simulate static documents was removed from the core.
+@TODO: Issue #36025 must be solved and this note here adapted, otherwise the
+removal will be reverted.
+
+* Removed TypoScript option noBlur
+
+The ancient noBlur TypoScript setting for old Browsers (Internet Explorer <= 5.5)
+was removed without alternative. The setting has no effect anymore and can be
+removed from custom TypoScript objects, especially MENU.
