hi,

tt_news 2.2.0 is out.

Important!
Due to some major code changes I downgraded the extension state temporarily
to "beta".

some of the new features:
- ?Subcategories?. News-categories can be nested to each other now. 

- ?Controlling editing permissions with categories?. A list of allowed
categories can be defined for a BE-user/group. If a news record does have a
category assigned that is not in this list this BE-user can't change
anything at this record.

- ?Hierarchical category menu?.  With the code ?CATMENU? a menu from nested
categories can be displayed on the website.

- Now it's possible to export news as RDF and Atom03 additionally to the
formats RSS 0.91 and RSS 2 (Thanks to Ingo Renner for the patches)

- ?Single view with multiple pages?. Pagebreaks can be inserted manually or
after a certain amount of words.

- ?Bidirectional relations?. If a news record has a relation to another
record, the relation back to the source article will be inserted
automatically.

- ?Related pages? News relations can point to normal pages.

- ?Human readable Dates?. tt_news can now be configured to use ?year? and
?month? instead of ?pS?. ?pL? and ?arc? for links pointing to certain
archive periods. With the monthnames and numbers as key-value pairs in the
realUrl configuration, Urls like this are possible: /news/view/2004/march/

- Human readable dates can also be used for the link to the single view.
Additionaly to year and month the link for single view can show the day, so
realUrls can look like this: /news/view/2004/10/19/newstitle/ (Thanks again
to Ingo Renner for the patches)

- ?Random news?. News lists can be ordered by random now.

- ?Editlock?. After activating the field ?editlock? in a news record it can
only be edited by admin users.

- ?Direct preview?. Clicking on ?save & view? in a news record will open the
single view of this record in the FrontEnd now.

- ?Version preview?: with a sprecial content element its possible to display
the ?version preview? of non-public record versions.

Updating the online manual on typo3.org failed and the manual which is
included in tt_news is missing some images due to TER upload limit.

Until this is fixed you can download the complete manual from here:
