[TYPO3-dev] EM Memory usage (BUG:0002615 ) will it be fixed in 4.0

[Martin Ficzel]

will that bug (BUG:0002615 ) be fixed in 4.0 ?

typo3 is alwas working hard to keep backward compatibility but that 
problem will break a lot of small installations.

the new em is an important step forward and of course the memory limit 
is no problem on dedicated servers but many installations are running on 
dedicated hosts (i personally think the most typo3 sites are running on 
shared servers) and with that behavior it's not easy for them to upgrade 
   the insallation. on the long run that will result in many 
installtions wich are never upgrades (secutrity problems) and that is 
not good for the reputation of typo.

i'm working around the problem with downloading the extensions manually 
and upload to the em directly but thats not a real solution. especially 
for people who hardly know how to use the EM. its also not easy to see 
wich installed extension is already out of date.

since the mechanism of partly downloading is already working with the 
translations i think it could be implemented on the extension side too.

another point is that the list of extensions is still growing. and if no 
mechanism is implemented to handle an unknown number of extensions even 
servers wich are working today may run into problems with a bigger list 
of extensions one day.

i just wanted to put some attenion on this issue.
