[TYPO3-english] [TYPO3-v4] Announcing TYPO3 4.5 alpha3

[Ernesto Baschny]

Dear TYPO3 friends,

Today, the TYPO3 community released the third and last alpha version of TYPO3 4.5. We continue on track to reach the goal of releasing 4.5.0 with Long Term Support in January 2011.

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

 http://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3v45-projects/wiki/TYPO3_450alpha3

We ship an Introduction Package with this third 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 4.5 alpha3 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.

This is the last snapshot before our feature freeze, which will happen with the next release (beta1). During the next three weeks we expect major improvements to be included in our core. beta1 is scheduled for 10th of November.

You can download the Alpha packages from:
