Hi all,

For those of you who did not see my tweet this morning, I started a 
section on how upgrading existing code to TYPO3 4.6. This mainly targets 
deprecated methods of course:

http://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3v46-projects/wiki/Compatibility_code_with_older_TYPO3_versions

Please have a look at it and upgrade your existing extensions. This is 
very important to minimize the number of deprecation messages which, in 
some cases, just render the backend kinda unusable (if you show them of 
course).

What is described in this first article is how to test the TYPO3 version 
you are currently running because... yes! the t3lib_div::int_from_ver() 
method got deprecated.

This is for sure something you can start fixing in your various 
extensions. Feature freeze is really soon now so the final list of 
deprecated methods will quickly be finalized.

Cheers
Xavier
