[TYPO3-dev] [TYPO3-v4] Announcing TYPO3 4.5alpha1

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Dear TYPO3 friends,

today, the TYPO3 community released the first alpha version of TYPO3
4.5. This marks the start of our mission to provide the first TYPO3
release ever to have long term support (LTS). We will have 4.5.0 ready
by january 2011.

For details about the release and the current progress, please read up on

 http://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3v45-projects/wiki/TYPO3_450alpha1

We also ship a introductionpackage with this first alpha release which
allows people to test the new features right away. You can of course
also opt to upgrade an existing installation to the new 4.5alpha1
version, but keep in mind that this is still a snapshot of our
development so far, and more changes and fixes will be included in
further releases.

You can download the Alpha packages from:
