[TYPO3-dam] DAM and TYPO3 4.5

[Dan Osipov]

Thanks for bringing this up Lorenz,

At this moment there is some uncertainty as to the way that FAL will be 
integrated with the core - if it will be part of the core, available as 
a system extension, or as a regular TER extension. There is also some 
question about FAL's future evolution. Once that is decided, we will 
know how DAM releases should be structured to take advantage of FAL with 
maximum support for non-FAL installations.

As far as 4.5 support - there will be releases that are compatible with 
4.5, probably when 4.5 goes into RC stage.

Hope this clears it up a bit.
