Hi,

there is check missing with a special var/parameter which must be set in 
localconf.php to check the tca display descisition. The check against 
the version won't do it, because if you update to 4.2, you cannot see 
the old doctypes.

So you have to set this parameter while installing 4.2 or while running 
the running the updatewizard.

And there must be a notice, that it is not possible to change the 
records-sets back. Because you don't know, if nav_hide/doctype=hide (or 
doctype=advanced/doctype=normal) was used before.

So +1 if this things are solved.


Another patch should handle the TS-parser doing the same for doc_type 
and nav_hide.

Cheers,

Malte
