[Typo3-dev] Enhancing the tt_products extension via CVS

I think that would be a huge job and I would be glad if someone else (there
are already a few people who said they would like to help) could take this
job. But I will do my best to help...

Generally I agree, but what about the new_login_box extension? I thought
this breaks compatibility, doesn't it?

If I remember right there was a discussion about version requirements in the
EM. My suggestion (I think that's the most easily solution) is to let
versions up to 3.5.0 use the current version of the shop while later
version can use the new one. We just have to guarantee that the old version
won't disappear one day...

Would this be ok for you, Kasper?

Regards, michael
