Michiel,

The page will grow more and more with stuff that doesn't belong here. I
wanted to create this page as a quick overview which can be changed even
after everything has been announced.

Your phpMyAdmin notice might be worth to be mentioned there as it seems to
be 3.8.1 specific. However I want to have a closer look at this first.
Didn't make any changes except one line, and actually it was the same only
difference that was also changed in the version before.

This was the same for 3.8.0 already. Since you once installed 3.8.0 and
manually had to overwrite tt_news in the source (since you placed it in
typo3/ext/ you should be a aware that it is quite logical that you need to
repeat this stop now.

It would have been much easier if you simply installed the extension locally
(typo3conf/ext/), then nothing would have changed for you.
