[TYPO3-dam-devel] is DAM 1.2.4 compatible with new TYPO3 version 4.7?

[Lorenz Ulrich]

Hi everyone

DAM is and will stay compatible from TYPO3 4.5 to TYPO3 4.7. I'm not 
aware of any trouble with TYPO3 4.6 when DAM is set up properly.

dam_ttcontent needs to be updated to work with TYPO3 4.7 since there 
have been changes in css_styled_content. The backend part will still 
works but the alignment of images doesn't work anymore. The patch is 
pending in Gerrit and misses a code review:
https://review.typo3.org/#/c/10544/
(But it was tested also in productive installations and is known to work.)

Furthermore we miss some reviews for DAM:
https://review.typo3.org/#/q/status:open+project:TYPO3v4/Extensions/dam,n,z

We are currently working on DAM 1.3 with some new (and probably the 
last) little features and some improvments in design (new icons, style 
adjusted to TYPO3 4.5+). I'm not sure yet whether we're going to release 
dam_ttcontent before or not - I need to check with Dan.

FAL (and maybe some third-party add-ons) will supersede FAL in TYPO3 6.0.

Best regards,

Lorenz
