TYPO3 4.5 LTS
============================

As already announced via a great buzz-article by Ernesto, the release 
team discussed the issue of backporting to TYPO3 4.5 LTS and 
decided/agreed on a strategy how to solve an work on this.

TYPO3 4.7
============================

Our current Focus until Alpha 2 is set on ExtJS 4 Migration for the 
TYPO3 Backend. The basic transformation has been pushed to the review 
server, and this morning got merged.

There are two outstanding patch which have to be merged, to have an 
working backend again... This will hopefully happen during today. Then 
you are up to bug-hunting and reporting.
We have some known issues but a team will be working on this until Alpha2.
Anyhow it can not be garuantied that all ExtJS based features will be up 
again until Alpha2 - this especially concerns the ExtensionManager, 
Recycler and Workspaces Modules which seem to need a complete Rewrite.
The Rewrite of Workspaces will be tackled by the Workspaces Team on an 
codesprint in first week of January, which also means that WS-Module and 
WS Preview are not available again until Alpha3.

Benni did a short report of the current state of FAL and will be working 
on a strategy for integration as well as collecting open issues.
He also will organize - with Ingmar - all further actions around the FAL 
integration.

We shortly talked about the init.php refactoring which has been done by 
Oliver Hader during the BLE-Project to support the Console-App. We 
talked about how this could be merged with the WebService Router Thomas 
Maroschik worked on as well as how forces could be joined with the FLOW3 
team to benefit of the security layer within their routing.
Olly will contact Thomas about this and set up an additional Skype 
meeting on this topic.

4.7, feel free to contact me or just leave your comment within this thread.
