TYPO3 is copyright (c) 1999-2013 by Kasper Skaarhoj. - -This document provides information about what is new in the 6.2 release -of TYPO3. An up-to-date version of this document also containing links to -further in depth information can be found here: - -http://wiki.typo3.org/TYPO3_6.2 - -System requirement changes --------------------------- - -Minimum PHP version requirement raised to PHP 5.3.7. Please upgrade PHP first, -if you plan to update from an older TYPO3 installation to 6.2! - -PHP 5.4 or later is recommended for improved performance. - -Consult INSTALL.md for complete system requirements. - -Changes and Improvements ------------------------- - -### Removed and moved components - -* Removed PHP constant PATH_t3lib -* Moved ExtJS- & JavaScript files from t3lib to typo3 - -### General - -* SpriteGenerator now supports high density sprites - -* New default value for cookieHttpOnly setting - -The session cookies "fe_typo_user" and "be_typo_user" now have set the -HttpOnly attribute by default. This will make it harder to steal the cookie -by XSS attacks. - -### Logging - -* Logging API PSR-3 compliance - -The logger of the Logging API now complies with the PSR-3 standard of the -PHP Framework Interop Group: http://www.php-fig.org/psr/3/ - -### Backend - -* Categorization API improvements - -\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::makeCategorizable() can now -be used multiple times on the same table to add more than one category field. -The options array (the fourth parameter) now can contain a 'label' to set a -custom label for each category field. - - -#### Caching - -* Caching behaviour by newly introduced grouping parameter - -Most caches used in TYPO3 CMS are now based on the FLOW caching framework. The -caching framework is now used for class loading, Extbase-internals, most page- -related caches, and for the configuration cache. Some caches are system-related -caches that only need to be flushed and rebuilt when the core is updated or -an extension is (un-)installed. **The functionality of "Clear all caches" thus -does not include the system-related caches anymore** - these can be cleared by -"Clear configuration cache" or DataHandler->clear_cacheCmd('system') if the -user has the according permissions. Each cache can be configured to be in one or -multiple groups in its configuration parameters. Custom groups can be defined -and cleared manually. - -### Frontend - -* Minor API change in \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObjectRenderer->getTreeList() - -getTreeList() got some cleanup and slightly changed its return result. Former -versions sometimes returned a trailing comma which is not the case anymore. - -Before: -getTreeList(42, 4) // get pids for pageId 42, 4 levels deep -result: '0, 22, 11, 4,' - -After: -getTreeList(42, 4) -result: '0, 22, 11, 4' - -### Administration / Customization - -* Content-length header (TypoScript setting config.enableContentLengthHeader) - is now enabled by default - -### Extbase - -* Recursive object validation - -Validation of object structures in extbase is now done recursively. If a tree -of objects is created by the new property mapper, not only the top level object -is validated, but all objects. - -* Allow empty validation - -In order to make a property required you now need to add the NotEmptyValidator -to your property. The return value of validators is now optional. - -### Fluid - -* Image view helper does not render title tag by default - -In previous versions of fluid the image view helper always rendered the -title attribute. If not set, the value of the required alt attribute was set as -title. -This fallback was removed with version 6.2. If not specifically set, title -is not rendered anymore. - -Example: - Fluid Tag - - will render - Alt-Attribute - and not - Alt-Attribute - -### System categories - -* Activated by default - -Pages and content elements are now categorizable by default. - -* New menu types - -The "Special Menus" content element type now offers the possibility to display -a list of categorized pages or content elements. +This file was superseded by the files located in +typo3/sysext/core/Documentation/Changelog/
