[TYPO3-dev] [NOTICE] A note to extension authors about shy extensions

Hi folks.

This is targeted at folks who
 * develop an extension
 * have uploaded that extension with the new EM before TYPO3 4.0RC3

There was a combined bug - consisting of an EM part and a (suspected) PHP
SOAP bug in combination with TER assuming all that worked - that broke the
settings for
 shy
 uploadFolder
 cleanCacheOnLoad

This leads to extensions being set to shy when being installed, and the two
other flags always evaluate to true, too. BEWARE: You will not see this if
you don't fetch the extension from the TER!

So, please fetch your extension from the TER and check those settings in
ext_emconf.php. If they contain lines like
 'shy' => 'false'
then please correct those to be simple integers 0/1 again and make the
settings suit your needs.

Then upload again with the EM coming with RC3 of TYPO3 4.0 (which will be
available tomorrow if nothing goes wrong).

Sorry for the hassle.

Karsten
