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

[Michael]

Hi TYPO3 extension developers!

As officially announced [1] in January 2013, a TER cleanup process is
currently in progress.

In the near future, TYPO3 extensions without a TYPO3 dependency setting
(or with a dependency for none of the current TYPO3 versions) will be
marked as "outdated". Therefore, extension developers are urged to
update their extensions and define a dependency to the TYPO3 versions
they tested their code with.

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.

*02 February 2013*
Total number of TYPO3 extensions in the TER: 5835
TYPO3 extensions without a TYPO3 dependency: 4657 (79.8% of all extensions)
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013: 1050
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013 and without a (valid) TYPO3
dependency: 919
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013 and with a min or max
dependency to TYPO3 version 4.x or 6.x: 124

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


Cheers
Michael
