[TYPO3-english] tt_news 3.0.0 released

[Rupert Germann]

hi,

After 1 year  8 months and 10 days - of hard work ;-)
finally it became true:
A few minutes ago I uploaded tt_news version 3.0 to TER. Check it out!

tt_news 3.0 highlights:

- New backend module to manage news and categories
- FE plugin changes:
     - Many new configuration possibilities by enabling "OptionSplit" 
for almost all parameters for the tt_news plugin
     - New display modes (CODEs) and template parts
     - Build-in processing of generic markers (thanks to Ringer Gerorg ;-) )
- Easy update: new updater script which fixes the most common migration 
problems
- Serious speed improvements: core refactoring and internal caching of 
processing intensive values
- Improved usability: reorganized constant editor options, plugin 
flexform and news record form.

and tons of other fixes and improvements

for a full list of all changes have a look at the changelog:
http://forge.typo3.org/repositories/entry/extension-tt_news/trunk/ChangeLog	
(tt_news 2.5.2 was released on 2008-03-17. so the last 600 lines in the 
changelog are about tt_news 3.0)

Due to excessive core work I did not yet have the time to rework the 
complete tt_news manual and CSH until now, and so I compiled all 
informations about changes and new features in tt_news 3.0 in a seperate 
document (tt_news_3.0_changes.sxw) which will be delivered with the 
extension and which you can download here:
http://forge.typo3.org/repositories/entry/extension-tt_news/trunk/doc/tt_news_3.0_changes.sxw?format=raw
