[TYPO3-ttnews] tt_news 3.0.0dev --update 2

[Dan Osipov]

Sounds great, we're going to test it out!

I have a feature request: are there any plans for a filter in the news 
module, to filter news, say by author, title containing certain words, 
etc? If not, I can code it, and will send a patch, if anyone is interested.
