[TYPO3-dev] Statistics: TYPO3 extensions without a TYPO3 dependency setting (Mar/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TYPO3 extensions without a TYPO3 dependency will be marked as "outdated" 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.

*02 March 2013*
Total number of TYPO3 extensions in the TER: 5874
TYPO3 extensions without a TYPO3 dependency: 4684 (79.4% of all extensions)
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013: 1106
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013 and without a (valid) TYPO3 
dependency: 962
TYPO3 extensions, last updated 2012/2013 and with a min or max 
dependency to TYPO3 version 4.x or 6.x: 134

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
