[Typo3-dev] Minor note on upgrading extension(s)

OK, I forgot one more step: Remove all temp_CACHED_* files after you've made
that change because this configuration is still cached.

Great, thanks.

Yes it is. Do you want to work on this? Anybody else?

The server compat chart should also be re-checked because it's quite old
already.

Well, I'd say that _every_ Apache version which is still maintained will
work with TYPO3. (Non-maintained versions should never be used anyway...)

Same goes for PHP. Is there anyone using a lower version than 4.1.2 (from
Debian Woody)? Anyway, the Woody version works fine.

About ImageMagick: I don't like the recommendation for version 4.2.9 because
this one is soooo old. IM6 and GraphicsMagick provide same functionality +
quality but they are actively maintained.

Yes you are right, it's probably a good idea to write this down
somewhere... :-)

Have a look at the newsgroup typo3.teams.typo3org.
