[TYPO3-dev] Statistics: TYPO3 extensions without a TYPO3 dependency setting (Apr/2013)

[Michael]

Hi TYPO3 extension developers!

As officially announced [1] in January 2013, a TER cleanup process 
is currently in progress. Whenever you publish a new extension or 
release an extension update, you MUST set a TYPO3 dependency.

TYPO3 extensions without a TYPO3 dependency will be marked as 
"outdated" in the near future.

The statistics below show the numbers of TYPO3 extensions in the TER 
and their current TYPO3 dependency settings. Only the last version 
of extensions has been taken into account for these figures.

*04 April 2013*
number of TYPO3 extensions in the TER: 5910
TYPO3 extensions without a TYPO3 dependency: 4587 (77.6% of all 
extensions)
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013: 1217
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013 and without a (valid) TYPO3 
dependency: 956
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013 and with a min or max 
dependency to TYPO3 version 4.x or 6.x: 233

Further background information, a schedule and the implications of 
the "TER cleanup" initiative and TYPO3 extensions without a valid 
dependency setting are explained in [1] and discussed in the TYPO3 
Extension Coordination Team mailing list [2] as well as in the Wiki [3].


Cheers
Michael
