Hi,

v.1.1.3 was aimed at be the one for beta2 but thanks to a bit more time, integration of DBAL with installer is even better tonight with 1.1.4, in time for TYPO3 4.4 beta2 packaging (thanks Benni for 
having waited a bit until I could sit back in front of my computer).

What was changed since 1.1.3:

- People having PDO active as a PHP module but having only MySQL driver do not see the dropdown list of drivers containing only "MySQL" anymore
- Oracle using native driver can be configured from ground up using only 1-2-3 installer


You can help
-------------------------------------------------

What should be tested until next TYPO3 release:

- Make sure your current website using DBAL (for Oracle, PostgreSQL or MSSQL) /could be/ configured with new installer. That is, make sure your particular configuration of DB modules (ODBC, native, 
PDO, ...) is seen as valid with the installer. If not, please open a bug report for DBAL explaining which configuration is missing and providing your DBAL configuration

- Make sure TYPO3 can in fact be properly configured with all supported configuration (would be great to have some feedback by PM if it works or as bug tracker entry if it doesn't)



What is not there and won't be there for 4.4
-------------------------------------------------

- I'd like to have a way to automatically configure the "best practice" remapping of table names / field names when someone installs an extension (Oracle specific). For instance, it's well known to 
remap table tx_templavoila_datastructure to tx_templavoila_ds to avoid naming length limit. I'd like to have this automatically performed when installing TemplaVoilà. As said, this is new feature and 
will certainly imply some adjustments in Core and as such won't be part of 4.4 anyway.

Cheers
