Thanks, I found the changes in CSC. They are easy enough to change when neccessary.

I don't find two different static templates of CSC.

But there wasn't anything in the upgrade process (yes I have used the upgrade 
wizard) which gave me any clue about the change as far as I remember. Which 
should be clearly stated, because of the consequences of the change. In both 
cases I did a upgrade through the Upgrade Wizard. And the upgrade gave the 
rendering of 4.3 behavior. If I don't upgrade the compat_version, then nothing 
is going to be broken.

Also nothing new in the TypoScript Object browser, before I set conditions 
to 4.3.0. Look like the opposite of what you are writing.

I suppose CSS Styled Content still has to be included as static from extension. 
But I suppose to get the old version to work I have to reset compat_version 
to 4.2 (tested amd correct).

So I feel there are missing part of this change, which look to me as a real 
change to someting better.

1. In Update Wizard it has to be stated very clear that an upgrade to compat_version 
will break any use of tt_content.stdWrap.innerWrap.cObject. Because as it 
is today an straight upgrade will break the rendering.

2. The solution is either to not do the upgrade of compat_version, or set 
it back under all configuration to 4.2 or adapt the new TypoScript. Which 
probably are the best solution, but a lot of people will find a bit more 
complicated.

Maybe I have misunderstood everything, but thats the way it looks like i 
works from my side.
