[TYPO3-core] TYPO3 4.4 - Feature Freeze on April 13th - Get Your Features In

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey guys,

packaging will happen tomorrow morning, we're definitively waiting to 
get the following RFCs in:

  * #13982: the new taskcenter
  * #13698: mail() function proxy
  * #13998: Versioning of CSS and JS files

The hooks for #8580, #13773, #13610, #13138, #13576, #13577, #13578 are 
still pending.

The sprite API will have the exception of being added in time for the 
beta2 release.

All the best,
Benni.
