[TYPO3-dev] t3lib_error_Exception

[Andreas Kundoch]

Hi Steffen,

first of all: Since the beta of 4.3 is out now we'll provide a 
4.3-compatible version of phpMyAdmin soon.

We set proper constraints for pma, the official maxium supported TYPO3 
version number is set to 4.2.99 on purpose since we can not seriously 
support and test an extension with early alpha releases of TYPO3.

Every admin should check his extension list *before* installing a new 
release (not patchlevel, but at least minor), that's why constraints 
exist IMHO. Unfortunately the EM currently misses an easy to read list 
of current constraints and can only check compatibility on installation 
of extensions.
